corefx 源码学习：NetworkStream.ReadAsync 是如何从 Socket 异步读取数据的

最近遇到 NetworkStream.ReadAsync 在 Linux 上高并发读取数据的问题，由此激发了阅读 corefx 中 System.Net.Sockets 实现源码（基于 corefx 2.2）的兴趣。

这篇随笔是阅读 NetworkStream.ReadAsync 相关源码的简单笔记，基于在 Linux 上运行的场景。

NetworkStream 继承自 System.IO.Stream ，System.IO.Stream.ReadAsync 方法签名是

public Task<int> ReadAsync(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count);

实际调用的是

public virtual Task<int> ReadAsync(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

上面的的方法被 NetworkStream 重写（override），调用的是 Socket 的 ReceiveAsync 方法

return _streamSocket.ReceiveAsync(
    new Memory<byte>(buffer, offset, size),
    SocketFlags.None,
    fromNetworkStream: true,
    cancellationToken).AsTask();

Socket.ReceiveAsync 的方法签名

internal ValueTask<int> ReceiveAsync(Memory<byte> buffer, SocketFlags socketFlags, bool fromNetworkStream, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

主要实现代码

AwaitableSocketAsyncEventArgs saea = LazyInitializer.EnsureInitialized(ref LazyInitializer.EnsureInitialized(ref _cachedTaskEventArgs).ValueTaskReceive);
if (saea.Reserve())
{
    saea.SetBuffer(buffer);
    saea.SocketFlags = socketFlags;
    saea.WrapExceptionsInIOExceptions = fromNetworkStream;
    var result = saea.ReceiveAsync(this);
    return result;
}
else
{
    // We couldn't get a cached instance, due to a concurrent receive operation on the socket.
    // Fall back to wrapping APM.
    return new ValueTask<int>(ReceiveAsyncApm(buffer, socketFlags));
}

通常情况下都会使用 AwaitableSocketAsyncEventArgs 异步读取数据，所以我们这里只从 saea.ReceiveAsync 往下看。

saea.ReceiveAsync 调用的是 Socket.ReceiveAsync(SocketAsyncEventArgs e)  方法，而后者调用的是 SocketAsyncEventArgs.DoOperationReceive(SafeCloseSocket handle) 。

在 Linux 上 DoOperationReceive 的实现在 SocketAsyncEventArgs.Unix.cs 中，主要代码如下

internal unsafe SocketError DoOperationReceive(SafeCloseSocket handle)
{
    //...
    if (_bufferList == null)
    {
        errorCode = handle.AsyncContext.ReceiveAsync(_buffer.Slice(_offset, _count), _socketFlags, out bytesReceived, out flags, TransferCompletionCallback);
    }
    else
    {
        errorCode = handle.AsyncContext.ReceiveAsync(_bufferListInternal, _socketFlags, out bytesReceived, out flags, TransferCompletionCallback);
    }

    if (errorCode != SocketError.IOPending)
    {
        CompleteTransferOperation(bytesReceived, null, , flags, errorCode);
        FinishOperationSync(errorCode, bytesReceived, flags);
    }

    return errorCode;
}

handle.AsyncContext.ReceiveAsync 对应的 Linux 实现在 SocketAsyncContext.Unix.cs 中，调用的是 SocketAsyncContext 的 ReceiveFrom 方法，ReceiveFrom 的主要实现代码如下

public SocketError ReceiveFromAsync(Memory<byte> buffer,  SocketFlags flags, byte[] socketAddress, ref int socketAddressLen, out int bytesReceived, out SocketFlags receivedFlags, Action<int, byte[], int, SocketFlags, SocketError> callback)
{
    SetNonBlocking();

    SocketError errorCode;
    int observedSequenceNumber;
    if (_receiveQueue.IsReady(this, out observedSequenceNumber) &&
        SocketPal.TryCompleteReceiveFrom(_socket, buffer.Span, flags, socketAddress, ref socketAddressLen, out bytesReceived, out receivedFlags, out errorCode))
    {
        return errorCode;
    }

    BufferMemoryReceiveOperation operation = RentBufferMemoryReceiveOperation();
    operation.Callback = callback;
    operation.Buffer = buffer;
    operation.Flags = flags;
    operation.SocketAddress = socketAddress;
    operation.SocketAddressLen = socketAddressLen;

    if (!_receiveQueue.StartAsyncOperation(this, operation, observedSequenceNumber))
    {
        receivedFlags = operation.ReceivedFlags;
        bytesReceived = operation.BytesTransferred;
        errorCode = operation.ErrorCode;

        ReturnOperation(operation);
        return errorCode;
    }

    bytesReceived = ;
    receivedFlags = SocketFlags.None;
    return SocketError.IOPending;
}

SocketPal.TryCompleteReceiveFrom 的实现代码在 SocketPal.Unix.cs 中，所调用的另一个 TryCompleteReceiveFrom 方法的签名是

public static unsafe bool TryCompleteReceiveFrom(SafeCloseSocket socket, Span<byte> buffer, IList<ArraySegment<byte>> buffers, SocketFlags flags, byte[] socketAddress, ref int socketAddressLen, out int bytesReceived, out SocketFlags receivedFlags, out SocketError errorCode)

该方法调用的是 Receive 方法

private static unsafe int Receive(SafeCloseSocket socket, SocketFlags flags, IList<ArraySegment<byte>> buffers, byte[] socketAddress, ref int socketAddressLen, out SocketFlags receivedFlags, out Interop.Error errno)

在 Receive 方法中调用了

errno = Interop.Sys.ReceiveMessage(
    socket.DangerousGetHandle(),
    &messageHeader,
    flags,
    &received);

Interop.Sys.ReceiveMessage 对应的是 Linux 本地库中的方法

internal static partial class Sys
{
    [DllImport(Libraries.SystemNative, EntryPoint = "SystemNative_ReceiveMessage")]
    internal static extern unsafe Error ReceiveMessage(IntPtr socket, MessageHeader* messageHeader, SocketFlags flags, long* received);
}

Libraries.SystemNative 对应的是哪个库呢？

它就是 System.Native.so

$ find /usr/share/dotnet/ -name System.Native.so
/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/2.2.0/System.Native.so

接下来根据 SocketError.IOPending 的情况阅读源码。

SocketAsyncEventArgs 在 DoOperationReceive 方法中调用 SocketAsyncContext.ReceiveFrom 方法时（handle.AsyncContext.ReceiveAsync）传递了 TransferCompletionCallback 参数值，在异步操作时是通过这个 callback 读取 socket 数据的，对应的方法是 TransferCompletionCallbackCore 。

private void TransferCompletionCallbackCore(int bytesTransferred, byte[] socketAddress, int socketAddressSize, SocketFlags receivedFlags, SocketError socketError)
{
    CompleteTransferOperation(bytesTransferred, socketAddress, socketAddressSize, receivedFlags, socketError);

    CompletionCallback(bytesTransferred, receivedFlags, socketError);
}

TransferCompletionCallbackCore 中进一步调用 CompletionCallback

private void CompletionCallback(int bytesTransferred, SocketFlags flags, SocketError socketError)
{
    if (socketError == SocketError.Success)
    {
        FinishOperationAsyncSuccess(bytesTransferred, flags);
    }
    else
    {
        if (_currentSocket.CleanedUp)
        {
            socketError = SocketError.OperationAborted;
        }

        FinishOperationAsyncFailure(socketError, bytesTransferred, flags);
    }
}

在 CompletionCallback 中当 SocketError.Success 时进一步调用 FinishOperationAsyncSuccess

internal void FinishOperationAsyncSuccess(int bytesTransferred, SocketFlags flags)
{
    FinishOperationSyncSuccess(bytesTransferred, flags);

    // Raise completion event.
    if (_context == null)
    {
        OnCompleted(this);
    }
    else
    {
        ExecutionContext.Run(_context, s_executionCallback, this);
    }
}

从上面的代码可以看出实际调用的也是 FinishOperationSyncSuccess ，异步与同步读取数据最终调用的是同一个方法。
