memcached（二）事件模型源码分析

memcachedd事件模型

　　在memcachedd中，作者为了专注于缓存的设计，使用了libevent来开发事件模型。memcachedd的时间模型同nginx的类似，拥有一个主进行（master）以及多个工作者线程（woker）。

流程图

在memcached中，是先对工作者线程进行初始化并启动，然后才会创建启动主线程。

工作者线程

初始化

memcached对工作者线程进行初始化，参数分别为线程数量以及`main_base`，

/* start up worker threads if MT mode */
thread_init(settings.num_threads, main_base);

/*
 * Initializes the thread subsystem, creating various worker threads.
 *
 * nthreads  Number of worker event handler threads to spawn
 * main_base Event base for main thread
 */
void thread_init(int nthreads, struct event_base *main_base) {
    int         i;
    int         power;

    pthread_mutex_init(&cache_lock, NULL);
    pthread_mutex_init(&stats_lock, NULL);

    pthread_mutex_init(&init_lock, NULL);
    pthread_cond_init(&init_cond, NULL);

    pthread_mutex_init(&cqi_freelist_lock, NULL);
    cqi_freelist = NULL;

    /* Want a wide lock table, but don't waste memory */
    if (nthreads < ) {
        power = ;
    } else if (nthreads < ) {
        power = ;
    } else if (nthreads < ) {
        power = ;
    } else {
        /* 8192 buckets, and central locks don't scale much past 5 threads */
        power = ;
    }

    item_lock_count = hashsize(power);
    item_lock_hashpower = power;

    item_locks = calloc(item_lock_count, sizeof(pthread_mutex_t));
    if (! item_locks) {
        perror("Can't allocate item locks");
        exit();
    }
    for (i = ; i < item_lock_count; i++) {
        pthread_mutex_init(&item_locks[i], NULL);
    }
    pthread_key_create(&item_lock_type_key, NULL);
    pthread_mutex_init(&item_global_lock, NULL);

    threads = calloc(nthreads, sizeof(LIBEVENT_THREAD));
    if (! threads) {
        perror("Can't allocate thread descriptors");
        exit();
    }

    dispatcher_thread.base = main_base;
    dispatcher_thread.thread_id = pthread_self();

    for (i = ; i < nthreads; i++) {
        int fds[];
        if (pipe(fds)) {
            perror("Can't create notify pipe");
            exit();
        }

        threads[i].notify_receive_fd = fds[];
        threads[i].notify_send_fd = fds[];

        setup_thread(&threads[i]);
        /* Reserve three fds for the libevent base, and two for the pipe */
        stats.reserved_fds += ;
    }

    /* Create threads after we've done all the libevent setup. */
    for (i = ; i < nthreads; i++) {
        create_worker(worker_libevent, &threads[i]);
    }

    /* Wait for all the threads to set themselves up before returning. */
    pthread_mutex_lock(&init_lock);
    wait_for_thread_registration(nthreads);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&init_lock);
}

thread_init源码

在memcachedd中为了避免多线程共享资源的使用使用了很多锁，这里对锁不做介绍。

线程的结构体

typedef struct {
    pthread_t thread_id;        /* unique ID of this thread 线程ID*/
    struct event_base *base;    /* libevent handle this thread uses libevent事件*/
    struct event notify_event;  /* listen event for notify pipe 注册事件*/
    int notify_receive_fd;      /* receiving end of notify pipe 管道中接收端*/
    int notify_send_fd;         /* sending end of notify pipe 管道中发送端*/
    struct thread_stats stats;  /* Stats generated by this thread 线程状态*/
    struct conn_queue *new_conn_queue; /* queue of new connections to handle 消息队列*/
    cache_t *suffix_cache;      /* suffix cache */
    uint8_t item_lock_type;     /* use fine-grained or global item lock */
} LIBEVENT_THREAD;

初始化工作者线程

for (i = ; i < nthreads; i++) {
        int fds[];
        /* 创建管道 */
        if (pipe(fds)) {
            perror("Can't create notify pipe");
            exit();
        }

        /* 设置线程管道的读写入口 */
        threads[i].notify_receive_fd = fds[];
        threads[i].notify_send_fd = fds[];

        /*  设置线程属性 */
        setup_thread(&threads[i]);
        /* Reserve three fds for the libevent base, and two for the pipe */
        stats.reserved_fds += ;
    }

设置线程属性

/*
 * Set up a thread's information.
 */
static void setup_thread(LIBEVENT_THREAD *me) {
    me->base = event_init(); //初始化线程事件
    if (! me->base) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Can't allocate event base\n");
        exit();
    }

    /* 初始化监听事件 */
    /* Listen for notifications from other threads */
    event_set(&me->notify_event, me->notify_receive_fd,
              EV_READ | EV_PERSIST, thread_libevent_process, me);
    /* 把事件绑定到线程事件 */
    event_base_set(me->base, &me->notify_event);

    /* 注册事件到监听状态 */
    if (event_add(&me->notify_event, ) == -) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Can't monitor libevent notify pipe\n");
        exit();
    }
    ...
}

READ回调函数

/*
 * Processes an incoming "handle a new connection" item. This is called when
 * input arrives on the libevent wakeup pipe.
 */
static void thread_libevent_process(int fd, short which, void *arg) {
    ...

    /* 从管道读取消息 */
    if (read(fd, buf, ) != )
        if (settings.verbose > )
            fprintf(stderr, "Can't read from libevent pipe\n");

    item = cq_pop(me->new_conn_queue); //读取连接

    ...
}    

启动工作者线程

/* Create threads after we've done all the libevent setup. */
for (i = ; i < nthreads; i++) {
     create_worker(worker_libevent, &threads[i]);
}

`create_woker`函数创建工作者线程，

/*
 * Creates a worker thread.
 */
static void create_worker(void *(*func)(void *), void *arg) {
    pthread_t       thread;
    pthread_attr_t  attr;
    int             ret;

    pthread_attr_init(&attr);

    if ((ret = pthread_create(&thread, &attr, func, arg)) != ) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Can't create thread: %s\n",
                strerror(ret));
        exit();
    }
}

`worker_libevent`函数进入线程循环监听状态，

/*
 * Worker thread: main event loop
 */
static void *worker_libevent(void *arg) {
    LIBEVENT_THREAD *me = arg;

    /* Any per-thread setup can happen here; thread_init() will block until
     * all threads have finished initializing.
     */

    /* set an indexable thread-specific memory item for the lock type.
     * this could be unnecessary if we pass the conn *c struct through
     * all item_lock calls...
     */
    me->item_lock_type = ITEM_LOCK_GRANULAR;
    pthread_setspecific(item_lock_type_key, &me->item_lock_type);

    register_thread_initialized();

    event_base_loop(me->base, );
    return NULL;
}

主线程

初始化

static struct event_base* mian_base;

/* initialize main thread libevent instance */
main_base = event_init();

在`memcached.c`的主函数中，使用`libevent`的事件初始化函数来初始化`main_base`。

初始化socket

这里只介绍tcp连接，其中使用`server_sockets`来调用`server_socket`来初始化连接。

if (settings.port && server_sockets(settings.port, tcp_transport,  portnumber_file)) {
            vperror("failed to listzhefen on TCP port %d", settings.port);
            exit(EX_OSERR);
}

static int server_sockets(int port, enum network_transport transport,
                          FILE *portnumber_file) {
    if (settings.inter == NULL) {
        return server_socket(settings.inter, port, transport, portnumber_file);
    }
    ...
}

而在`server_socket`中完成了socket的初始化、绑定等操作。

/**
 * Create a socket and bind it to a specific port number
 * @param interface the interface to bind to
 * @param port the port number to bind to
 * @param transport the transport protocol (TCP / UDP)
 * @param portnumber_file A filepointer to write the port numbers to
 *        when they are successfully added to the list of ports we
 *        listen on.
 */
static int server_socket(const char *interface,
                         int port,
                         enum network_transport transport,
                         FILE *portnumber_file) {
    int sfd;
    struct linger ling = {, };
    struct addrinfo *ai;
    struct addrinfo *next;
    struct addrinfo hints = { .ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE,

    int error;

    if (port == -) {

    }
    snprintf(port_buf, sizeof(port_buf), "%d", port);
    error= getaddrinfo(interface, port_buf, &hints, &ai);
    if (error != ) {

          fprintf(stderr, "getaddrinfo(): %s\n", gai_strerror(error));

             */

server_socket源码

主线程事件

在主线程中通过`conn_new`函数来建立主线程和工作者线程之间的关系。

/* 设置线程事件 */
event_set(&c->event, sfd, event_flags, event_handler, (void *)c);
event_base_set(base, &c->event);
c->ev_flags = event_flags;

/* 注册事件到监听 */
if (event_add(&c->event, ) == -) {
    perror("event_add");
    return NULL;
}

事件处理

上面中设置了事件的回调函数`event_handler`，而在`event_handler`中，主要调用了`driver_machine`函数。

driver_machine看名字就知道，想发动机一样的函数，那么该函数主要是处理各种事件以及相应的处理方法。

这里只简要介绍一个函数调用`dispatch_conn_new`。

void dispatch_conn_new(int sfd, enum conn_states init_state, int event_flags,
                       int read_buffer_size, enum network_transport transport) {
    CQ_ITEM *item = cqi_new();
    char buf[];
    if (item == NULL) {
        close(sfd);
        /* given that malloc failed this may also fail, but let's try */
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate memory for connection object\n");
        return ;
    }

    int tid = (last_thread + ) % settings.num_threads;

    LIBEVENT_THREAD *thread = threads + tid; //循环获取工作者线程

    last_thread = tid;

    item->sfd = sfd;
    item->init_state = init_state;
    item->event_flags = event_flags;
    item->read_buffer_size = read_buffer_size;
    item->transport = transport;

    cq_push(thread->new_conn_queue, item); //连接加入懂啊队列

    memcachedD_CONN_DISPATCH(sfd, thread->thread_id);
    buf[] = 'c';
    if (write(thread->notify_send_fd, buf, ) != ) {//向管道写入消息
        perror("Writing to thread notify pipe");
    }
}
