Android:init进程总结

init进程在on property触发一个处理时，是在主线程还是子线程处理呢？

on property:sys.sysctl.extra_free_kbytes=*
    write /proc/sys/vm/extra_free_kbytes ${sys.sysctl.extra_free_kbytes}

是在主线程处理。init进程会在最后启动一个epoll监听，监听返回后是在主线程进行处理。

    while (true) {
        // By default, sleep until something happens.
        int epoll_timeout_ms = -1;

        if (do_shutdown && !shutting_down) {
            do_shutdown = false;
            if (HandlePowerctlMessage(shutdown_command)) {
                shutting_down = true;
            }
        }

        if (!(waiting_for_prop || sm.IsWaitingForExec())) {
            am.ExecuteOneCommand();
        }
        if (!(waiting_for_prop || sm.IsWaitingForExec())) {
            if (!shutting_down) restart_processes();

            // If there's a process that needs restarting, wake up in time for that.
            if (process_needs_restart_at != 0) {
                epoll_timeout_ms = (process_needs_restart_at - time(nullptr)) * 1000;
                if (epoll_timeout_ms < 0) epoll_timeout_ms = 0;
            }

            // If there's more work to do, wake up again immediately.
            if (am.HasMoreCommands()) epoll_timeout_ms = 0;
        }

        epoll_event ev;
        int nr = TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(epoll_wait(epoll_fd, &ev, 1, epoll_timeout_ms));
        if (nr == -1) {
            PLOG(ERROR) << "epoll_wait failed";
        } else if (nr == 1) {
            ((void (*)()) ev.data.ptr)();
        }
    }
