/* High-level wrapper around the "poll" system call.
*
* The intended usage is for each thread's main loop to go about its business
* servicing whatever events it needs to. Then, when it runs out of immediate
* tasks, it calls each subordinate module's "wait" function, which in turn
* calls one (or more) of the functions poll_fd_wait(), poll_immediate_wake(),
* and poll_timer_wait() to register to be awakened when the appropriate event
* occurs. Then the main loop calls poll_block(), which blocks until one of
* the registered events happens.
*
*
* Thread-safety
* =============
*
* The poll set is per-thread, so all functions in this module are thread-safe.

poll-loop: Make wakeup logging more portable and easier to understand. Until now, when the poll_loop module's log level was turned up to "debug", it would log a backtrace of the call stack for the event that caused poll() to wake up in poll_block(). This was pretty useful from time to time to find out why ovs-vswitchd was using more CPU than expected, because we could find out what was causing it to wake up. But there were some issues. One is simply that the backtrace was printed as a series of hexadecimal numbers, so GDB or another debugger was needed to translate it into human-readable format. Compiler optimizations meant that even the human-readable backtrace wasn't, in my experience, as helpful as it could have been. And, of course, one needed to have the binary to interpret the backtrace. When the backtrace couldn't be interpreted or wasn't meaningful, there was essentially nothing to fall back on. This commit changes the way that "debug" logging for poll_block() wakeups works. Instead of logging a backtrace, it logs the source code file name and line number of the call to a poll_loop function, using __FILE__ and __LINE__. This is by itself much more meaningful than a sequence of hexadecimal numbers, since no additional interpretation is necessary. It can be useful even if the Open vSwitch version is only approximately known. In addition to the file and line, this commit adds, for wakeups caused by file descriptors, information about the file descriptor itself: what kind of file it is (regular file, directory, socket, etc.), the name of the file (on Linux only), and the local and remote endpoints for socket file descriptors. Here are a few examples of the new output format: 932-ms timeout at ../ofproto/in-band.c:507 [POLLIN] on fd 20 (192.168.0.20:35388<->192.168.0.3:6633) at ../lib/stream-fd.c:149 [POLLIN] on fd 7 (FIFO pipe:[48049]) at ../lib/fatal-signal.c:168

/* Schedule events to wake up the following poll_block().
*
* The poll_loop logs the 'where' argument to each function at "debug" level
* when an event causes a wakeup. Each of these ways to schedule an event has
* a function and a macro wrapper. The macro version automatically supplies
* the source code location of the caller. The function version allows the
* caller to supply a location explicitly, which is useful if the caller's own
* caller would be more useful in log output. See timer_wait_at() for an
* example. */
poll-loop: Create Windows event handles for sockets automatically. We currently have a poll_fd_wait_event(fd, wevent, events) function that is used at places common to Windows and Linux where we have to wait on sockets. On Linux, 'wevent' is always set as zero. On Windows, for sockets, when we send both 'fd' and 'wevent', we associate them with each other for 'events' and then wait on 'wevent'. Also on Windows, when we only send 'wevent' to this function, we would simply wait for all events for that 'wevent'. There is a disadvantage with this approach. * Windows clients need to create a 'wevent' and then pass it along. This means that at a lot of places where we create sockets, we also are forced to create a 'wevent'. With this commit, we pass the responsibility of creating a 'wevent' to poll_fd_wait() in case of sockets. That way, a client using poll_fd_wait() is only concerned about sockets and not about 'wevents'. There is a potential disadvantage with this change in that we create events more often and that may have a performance penalty. If that turns out to be the case, we will eventually need to create a pool of wevents that can be re-used. In Windows, there are cases where we want to wait on a event (not associated with any sockets) and then control it using functions like SetEvent() etc. For that purpose, introduce a new function poll_wevent_wait(). For this function, the client needs to create a event and then pass it along as an argument. Signed-off-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshetty@nicira.com> Acked-By: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>
