The first, 8 * and default, is the single/combined queueing (which refers to a single 9 * epoll instance for N worker threads): 10 * 11 * |---> [worker A] 12 * |---> [worker B] 13 * [combined queue] .---> [worker C] 14 * |---> [worker D] 15 * |---> [worker E] 16 * 17 * While the second model, enabled via --multiq option, uses multiple 18 * queueing (which refers to one epoll instance per worker). For example, 19 * short lived tcp connections in a high throughput httpd server will 20 * distribute the accept()'ing connections across CPUs. In this case each 21 * worker does a limited amount of processing. 22 * 23 * [queue A] ---> [worker] 24 * [queue B] ---> [worker] 25 * [queue C] ---> [worker] 26 * [queue D] ---> [worker] 27 * [queue E] ---> [worker] 28 * 29 * Naturally, the single queue will enforce more concurrency on the epoll 30 * instance, and can therefore scale poorly compared to multiple queues. 31 * However, this is a benchmark raw data and must be taken with a grain of 32 * salt when choosing how to make use of sys_epoll. 33 34 * Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors, 35 * referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to 36 * the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of 37 * epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this 38 * is not what we want to stress. The size of the fdmap can be adjusted 39 * by the user; enlarging the value will increase the chances of 40 * epoll_wait(2) blocking as the lineal writer thread will take "longer", 41 * at least at a high level. 42 * 43 * Note that because fds are private to each thread, this workload does 44 * not stress scenarios where multiple tasks are awoken per ready IO; ie: 45 * EPOLLEXCLUSIVE semantics. 46 * 47 * The end result/metric is throughput: number of ops/second where an 48 * operation consists of: 49 * 50 * epoll_wait(2) + [others] 51 * 52 * ... where [others] is the cost of re-adding the fd (EPOLLET), 53 * or rearming it (EPOLLONESHOT). 54 * 55 * 56 * The purpose of this is program is that it be useful for measuring 57 * kernel related changes to the sys_epoll, and not comparing different 58 * IO polling methods, for example. Hence everything is very adhoc and 59 * outputs raw microbenchmark numbers. Also this uses eventfd, similar 60 * tools tend to use pipes or sockets, but the result is the same. 61 */ 62 63/* For the CLR_() macros */ 64#include <string.h> 65#include <pthread.h> 66#include <unistd.h> 67 68#include <errno.h> 69#include <inttypes.h> 70#include <signal.h> 71#include <stdlib.h> 72#include <linux/compiler.h> 73#include <linux/kernel.h> 74#include <sys/time.h> 75#include <sys/resource.h> 76#include <sys/epoll.h> 77#include <sys/eventfd.h> 78#include <sys/types.h> 79#include <perf/cpumap.h> 80 81#include "../util/stat.h" 82#include <subcmd/parse-options.h> 83#include "bench.h" 84 85#include <err.h> 86 87#define printinfo(fmt, arg...) \ 88 do { if (__verbose) { printf(fmt, ## arg); fflush(stdout); } } while (0) 89 90static unsigned int nthreads = 0; 91static unsigned int nsecs = 8; 92static bool wdone, done, __verbose, randomize, nonblocking; 93 94/* 95 * epoll related shared variables. 96 */ 97 98/* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ 99#define EPOLL_MAXNESTS 4 100 101static int epollfd; 102static int *epollfdp; 103static bool noaffinity; 104static unsigned int nested = 0; 105static bool et; /* edge-trigger */ 106static bool oneshot; 107static bool multiq; /* use an epoll instance per thread */ 108 109/* amount of fds to monitor, per thread */ 110static unsigned int nfds = 64; 111 112static pthread_mutex_t thread_lock; 113static unsigned int threads_starting; 114static struct stats throughput_stats; 115static pthread_cond_t thread_parent, thread_worker; 116 117struct worker { 118 int tid; 119 int epollfd; /* for --multiq */ 120 pthread_t thread; 121 unsigned long ops; 122 int *fdmap; 123}; 124 125static const struct option options[] = { 126 /* general benchmark options */ 127 OPT_UINTEGER('t', "threads", &nthreads, "Specify amount of threads"), 128 OPT_UINTEGER('r', "runtime", &nsecs, "Specify runtime (in seconds)"), 129 OPT_UINTEGER('f', "nfds", &nfds, "Specify amount of file descriptors to monitor for each thread"), 130 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'n', "noaffinity", &noaffinity, "Disables CPU affinity"), 131 OPT_BOOLEAN('R', "randomize", &randomize, "Enable random write behaviour (default is lineal)"), 132 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'v', "verbose", &__verbose, "Verbose mode"), 133 134 /* epoll specific options */ 135 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'm', "multiq", &multiq, "Use multiple epoll instances (one per thread)"), 136 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'B', "nonblocking", &nonblocking, "Nonblocking epoll_wait(2) behaviour"), 137 OPT_UINTEGER( 'N', "nested", &nested, "Nesting level epoll hierarchy (default is 0, no nesting)"), 138 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'S', "oneshot", &oneshot, "Use EPOLLONESHOT semantics"), 139 OPT_BOOLEAN( 'E', "edge", &et, "Use Edge-triggered interface (default is LT)"), 140 141 OPT_END() 142}; 143 144static const char * const bench_epoll_wait_usage[] = { 145 "perf bench epoll wait <options>", 146 NULL 147}; 148 149 150/* 151 * Arrange the N elements of ARRAY in random order. 152 * Only effective if N is much smaller than RAND_MAX; 153 * if this may not be the case, use a better random 154 * number generator. -- Ben Pfaff. 155 */ 156static void shuffle(void *array, size_t n, size_t size) 157{ 158 char *carray = array; 159 void *aux; 160 size_t i; 161 162 if (n <= 1) 163 return; 164 165 aux = calloc(1, size); 166 if (!aux) 167 err(EXIT_FAILURE, "calloc"); 168 169 for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) { 170 size_t j = i + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (n - i) + 1); 171 j *= size; 172 173 memcpy(aux, &carray[j], size); 174 memcpy(&carray[j], &carray[i*size], size); 175 memcpy(&carray[i*size], aux, size); 176 } 177 178 free(aux); 179} 180 181 182static void *workerfn(void *arg) 183{ 184 int fd, ret, r; 185 struct worker *w = (struct worker *) arg; 186 unsigned long ops = w->ops; 187 struct epoll_event ev; 188 uint64_t val; 189 int to = nonblocking?
