我们先来看一下默认的events任务队列,然后再看看创建新的工作者线程。
1.创建推后的工作
首先要做的是实际创建一些需要推后完成的工作。可以通过DECLARE_WORK在编译时静态地创建该结构体:
- 在<workqueue.h>中
- #define DECLARE_WORK(n, f) /
- struct work_struct n = __WORK_INITIALIZER(n, f)
- #define __WORK_INITIALIZER(n, f) { /
- .data = WORK_DATA_INIT(0), /
- .entry = { &(n).entry, &(n).entry }, /
- .func = (f), /
- }
也可以在运行时通过指针创建一个工作:
- #define INIT_WORK(_work, _func) /
- do { /
- (_work)->data = (atomic_long_t) WORK_DATA_INIT(0); /
- INIT_LIST_HEAD(&(_work)->entry); /
- PREPARE_WORK((_work), (_func)); /
- } while (0)
- #define PREPARE_WORK(_work, _func) /
- do { /
- (_work)->func = (_func); /
- } while (0)
2.工作队列处理函数
工作队列对立函数的原型是:
void work_handler(void *data)
这个函数会由一个工作者线程执行,因此,函数会运行在进程上下文中。默认情况下,运行响应中断,并且不持有任何锁。如果需要,函数可以睡眠。需要注意的是,尽管操作处理函数运行在进程上下文中,但它不能访问用户空间,因为内核线程在用户空间没有相关的内存映射。通常在系统调用发生时,内核会代表用户空间的进程运行,此时它才能访问用户空间,也只有在此时它才会映射用户空间的内存。
3.对工作进行调度
要把给定工作的处理函数提交给默认的events工作线程,只须调用
schedule_work(&work);
- int fastcall schedule_work(struct work_struct *work)
- {
- return queue_work(keventd_wq, work);
- }
- int fastcall queue_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq, struct work_struct *work)
- {
- int ret = 0, cpu = get_cpu();
- if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))) {
- if (unlikely(is_single_threaded(wq)))
- cpu = singlethread_cpu;
- BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry));
- __queue_work(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, cpu), work);
- ret = 1;
- }
- put_cpu();
- return ret;
- }
- static void __queue_work(struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq,
- struct work_struct *work)
- {
- unsigned long flags;
- spin_lock_irqsave(&cwq->lock, flags);
- set_wq_data(work, cwq);
- list_add_tail(&work->entry, &cwq->worklist);
- cwq->insert_sequence++;
- wake_up(&cwq->more_work);
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cwq->lock, flags);
- }
work马上就会被调度,一旦其所在的处理器上的工作者线程被唤醒,它就会被执行。如不希望工作马上被执行,延迟一段时间之后再执行,可以调度它在指定的时间执行:
schedule_delayed_work(&work,delay);
- int fastcall schedule_delayed_work(struct delayed_work *dwork,
- unsigned long delay)
- {
- timer_stats_timer_set_start_info(&dwork->timer);
- return queue_delayed_work(keventd_wq, dwork, delay);
- }
- int fastcall queue_delayed_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq,
- struct delayed_work *dwork, unsigned long delay)
- {
- int ret = 0;
- struct timer_list *timer = &dwork->timer;
- struct work_struct *work = &dwork->work;
- timer_stats_timer_set_start_info(timer);
- if (delay == 0)
- return queue_work(wq, work);
- if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))) {
- BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer));
- BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry));
-
- set_wq_data(work, wq);
- timer->expires = jiffies + delay;
- timer->data = (unsigned long)dwork;
- timer->function = delayed_work_timer_fn;
- add_timer(timer);
- ret = 1;
- }
- return ret;
- }
- struct delayed_work {
- struct work_struct work;
- struct timer_list timer;
- };
4.刷新操作
排入队列的工作会在工作者线程下一次被唤醒的时候执行。有时,在继续下一步工作之前,你必须保证一些操作已经执行完毕了。这一点对模块来说很重要,在卸载之前,它就有可能需要调用下面的函数;而在内核的其他部分,为了防止竞争条件的出现,也可能需要确保不在有待处理的工作。
出于以上目的,内核准备了一个用于刷新指定工作队列的函数:
void flush_scheduled_work(void);
- void flush_scheduled_work(void)
- {
- flush_workqueue(keventd_wq);
- }
- void fastcall flush_workqueue(struct workqueue_struct *wq)
- {
- might_sleep();
- if (is_single_threaded(wq)) {
-
- flush_cpu_workqueue(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, singlethread_cpu));
- } else {
- int cpu;
- mutex_lock(&workqueue_mutex);
- for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
- flush_cpu_workqueue(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, cpu));
- mutex_unlock(&workqueue_mutex);
- }
- }
函数会一直等待,直到队列中所有对象都被执行以后才返回。在等待所有待处理的工作执行的时候,该函数会进入休眠状态,所以只能在进程上下文中使用它。
注意,该函数并不取消任何延迟执行的工作。就是说,任何通过schedule_delayed_work()调度的工作,如果其延迟时间未结束,它并不会因为调用flush_scheduled_work()而被刷新掉。
取消延迟执行的工作应该调用:
int cancle_delayed_work(sruct work_struc work);
这个函数可以取消任何与work_struct相关的挂起工作。
- 在<workqueue.h>中
- static inline int cancel_delayed_work(struct delayed_work *work)
- {
- int ret;
- ret = del_timer_sync(&work->timer);
- if (ret)
- work_release(&work->work);
- return ret;
- }
- #define work_release(work) /
- clear_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))
5.创建新的工作队列
如果默认的队列不能满足需要,可以创建一个新的工作对列和与之相应的工作者线程。
创建一个新的任务队列和与之相关的工作者线程,只须调用一个简单的函数:
struct workqueue_struct *create_workqueue(const char *name);
- 在<workqueue.h>中
- #define create_workqueue(name) __create_workqueue((name), 0, 0)
- 在<workqueue.c>中
- struct workqueue_struct *__create_workqueue(const char *name,
- int singlethread, int freezeable)
- {
- int cpu, destroy = 0;
- struct workqueue_struct *wq;
- struct task_struct *p;
- wq = kzalloc(sizeof(*wq), GFP_KERNEL);
- if (!wq)
- return NULL;
- wq->cpu_wq = alloc_percpu(struct cpu_workqueue_struct);
- if (!wq->cpu_wq) {
- kfree(wq);
- return NULL;
- }
- wq->name = name;
- mutex_lock(&workqueue_mutex);
- if (singlethread) {
- INIT_LIST_HEAD(&wq->list);
- p = create_workqueue_thread(wq, singlethread_cpu, freezeable);
- if (!p)
- destroy = 1;
- else
- wake_up_process(p);
- } else {
- list_add(&wq->list, &workqueues);
- for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
- p = create_workqueue_thread(wq, cpu, freezeable);
- if (p) {
- kthread_bind(p, cpu);
- wake_up_process(p);
- } else
- destroy = 1;
- }
- }
- mutex_unlock(&workqueue_mutex);
-
- if (destroy) {
- destroy_workqueue(wq);
- wq = NULL;
- }
- return wq;
- }
这个函数会创建所有的工作者线程(系统中的每个处理器都有一个),并且做好所有开始处理工作之前的准备工作。
创建一个工作的时候无须考虑工作队列的类型。可以使用下列函数对给定工作而不是默认的event队列进行操作。
int queue_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq, struct work_struct *work);
int queue_delayed_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq, struct work_struct *work, unsigned long delay);
flush_workqueue(struct workqueue_struct *wq);
- int fastcall queue_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq, struct work_struct *work)
- {
- int ret = 0, cpu = get_cpu();
- if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))) {
- if (unlikely(is_single_threaded(wq)))
- cpu = singlethread_cpu;
- BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry));
- __queue_work(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, cpu), work);
- ret = 1;
- }
- put_cpu();
- return ret;
- }
- int fastcall queue_delayed_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq,
- struct delayed_work *dwork, unsigned long delay)
- {
- int ret = 0;
- struct timer_list *timer = &dwork->timer;
- struct work_struct *work = &dwork->work;
- timer_stats_timer_set_start_info(timer);
- if (delay == 0)
- return queue_work(wq, work);
- if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))) {
- BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer));
- BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry));
-
- set_wq_data(work, wq);
- timer->expires = jiffies + delay;
- timer->data = (unsigned long)dwork;
- timer->function = delayed_work_timer_fn;
- add_timer(timer);
- ret = 1;
- }
- return ret;
- }
- void fastcall flush_workqueue(struct workqueue_struct *wq)
- {
- might_sleep();
- if (is_single_threaded(wq)) {
-
- flush_cpu_workqueue(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, singlethread_cpu));
- } else {
- int cpu;
- mutex_lock(&workqueue_mutex);
- for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
- flush_cpu_workqueue(per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, cpu));
- mutex_unlock(&workqueue_mutex);
- }
- }
- static void flush_cpu_workqueue(struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq)
- {
- if (cwq->thread == current) {
-
- run_workqueue(cwq);
- } else {
- DEFINE_WAIT(wait);
- long sequence_needed;
- spin_lock_irq(&cwq->lock);
- sequence_needed = cwq->insert_sequence;
- while (sequence_needed - cwq->remove_sequence > 0) {
- prepare_to_wait(&cwq->work_done, &wait,
- TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
- spin_unlock_irq(&cwq->lock);
- schedule();
- spin_lock_irq(&cwq->lock);
- }
- finish_wait(&cwq->work_done, &wait);
- spin_unlock_irq(&cwq->lock);
- }
- }
- static void run_workqueue(struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq)
- {
- unsigned long flags;
-
- spin_lock_irqsave(&cwq->lock, flags);
- cwq->run_depth++;
- if (cwq->run_depth > 3) {
-
- printk("%s: recursion depth exceeded: %d/n",
- __FUNCTION__, cwq->run_depth);
- dump_stack();
- }
- while (!list_empty(&cwq->worklist)) {
- struct work_struct *work = list_entry(cwq->worklist.next,
- struct work_struct, entry);
- work_func_t f = work->func;
- list_del_init(cwq->worklist.next);
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cwq->lock, flags);
- BUG_ON(get_wq_data(work) != cwq);
- if (!test_bit(WORK_STRUCT_NOAUTOREL, work_data_bits(work)))
- work_release(work);
- f(work);
- if (unlikely(in_atomic() || lockdep_depth(current) > 0)) {
- printk(KERN_ERR "BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: "
- "%s/0x%08x/%d/n",
- current->comm, preempt_count(),
- current->pid);
- printk(KERN_ERR " last function: ");
- print_symbol("%s/n", (unsigned long)f);
- debug_show_held_locks(current);
- dump_stack();
- }
- spin_lock_irqsave(&cwq->lock, flags);
- cwq->remove_sequence++;
- wake_up(&cwq->work_done);
- }
- cwq->run_depth--;
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cwq->lock, flags);
- }
呵呵,又把代码贴完了:)
