epoll内核源码详解+自己总结的流程

发现自己发的一篇面经后,很多小伙伴向我索要epoll的内核源码实现,那我就在牛客网发下这源码还有自己总结的流程.另外 网上很多博客说epoll使用了共享内存,这个是完全错误的 ,可以阅读源码,会发现完全没有使用共享内存的任何api,而是 使用了copy_from_user跟__put_user进行内核跟用户虚拟空间数据交互.

/*
 * 在深入了解epoll的实现之前, 先来了解内核的3个方面.
 * 1. 等待队列 waitqueue
 * 我们简单解释一下等待队列:
 * 队列头(wait_queue_head_t)往往是资源生产者,
 * 队列成员(wait_queue_t)往往是资源消费者,
 * 当头的资源ready后, 会逐个执行每个成员指定的回调函数,
 * 来通知它们资源已经ready了, 等待队列大致就这个意思.
 * 2. 内核的poll机制
 * 被Poll的fd, 必须在实现上支持内核的Poll技术,
 * 比如fd是某个字符设备,或者是个socket, 它必须实现
 * file_operations中的poll操作, 给自己分配有一个等待队列头.
 * 主动poll fd的某个进程必须分配一个等待队列成员, 添加到
 * fd的对待队列里面去, 并指定资源ready时的回调函数.
 * 用socket做例子, 它必须有实现一个poll操作, 这个Poll是
 * 发起轮询的代码必须主动调用的, 该函数中必须调用poll_wait(),
 * poll_wait会将发起者作为等待队列成员加入到socket的等待队列中去.
 * 这样socket发生状态变化时可以通过队列头逐个通知所有关心它的进程.
 * 这一点必须很清楚的理解, 否则会想不明白epoll是如何
 * 得知fd的状态发生变化的.
 * 3. epollfd本身也是个fd, 所以它本身也可以被epoll,
 * 可以猜测一下它是不是可以无限嵌套epoll下去...
 *
 * epoll基本上就是使用了上面的1,2点来完成.
 * 可见epoll本身并没有给内核引入什么特别复杂或者高深的技术,
 * 只不过是已有功能的重新组合, 达到了超过select的效果.
 */
/*
 * 相关的其它内核知识:
 * 1. fd我们知道是文件描述符, 在内核态, 与之对应的是struct file结构,
 * 可以看作是内核态的文件描述符.
 * 2. spinlock, 自旋锁, 必须要非常小心使用的锁,
 * 尤其是调用spin_lock_irqsave()的时候, 中断关闭, 不会发生进程调度,
 * 被保护的资源其它CPU也无法访问. 这个锁是很强力的, 所以只能锁一些
 * 非常轻量级的操作.
 * 3. 引用计数在内核中是非常重要的概念,
 * 内核代码里面经常有些release, free释放资源的函数几乎不加任何锁,
 * 这是因为这些函数往往是在对象的引用计数变成0时被调用,
 * 既然没有进程在使用在这些对象, 自然也不需要加锁.
 * struct file 是持有引用计数的.

epoll_create
从slab缓存中创建一个eventpoll对象,并且创建一个匿名的fd跟fd对应的file对象,
而eventpoll对象保存在struct file结构的private指针中,并且返回,
该fd对应的file operations只是实现了poll跟release操作

创建eventpoll对象的初始化操作
获取当前用户信息,是不是root,最大监听fd数目等并且保存到eventpoll对象中
初始化等待队列,初始化就绪链表,初始化红黑树的头结点

epoll_ctl操作
将epoll_event结构拷贝到内核空间中
并且判断加入的fd是否支持poll结构(epoll,poll,selectI/O多路复用必须支持poll操作).
并且从epfd->file->privatedata获取event_poll对象,根据op区分是添加删除还是修改,
首先在eventpoll结构中的红黑树查找是否已经存在了相对应的fd,没找到就支持插入操作,否则报重复的错误.
相对应的修改,删除比较简单就不啰嗦了

插入操作时,会创建一个与fd对应的epitem结构,并且初始化相关成员,比如保存监听的fd跟file结构之类的
重要的是指定了调用poll_wait时的回调函数用于数据就绪时唤醒进程,(其内部,初始化设备的等待队列,将该进程注册到等待队列)完成这一步, 我们的epitem就跟这个socket关联起来了, 当它有状态变化时,
会通过ep_poll_callback()来通知.
最后调用加入的fd的file operation->poll函数(最后会调用poll_wait操作)用于完成注册操作.
最后将epitem结构添加到红黑树中

epoll_wait操作
计算睡眠时间(如果有),判断eventpoll对象的链表是否为空,不为空那就干活不睡明.并且初始化一个等待队列,把自己挂上去,设置自己的进程状态
为可睡眠状态.判断是否有信号到来(有的话直接被中断醒来,),如果啥事都没有那就调用schedule_timeout进行睡眠,如果超时或者被唤醒,首先从自己初始化的等待队列删除
,然后开始拷贝资源给用户空间了
拷贝资源则是先把就绪事件链表转移到中间链表,然后挨个遍历拷贝到用户空间,
并且挨个判断其是否为水平触发,是的话再次插入到就绪链表
