[libco] libco 工作流程

2020-12-28

libco 设计初衷:为了方便编写 C++ 高性能网络服务。

高性能网络服务主要有两个点:IO 非阻塞 + 多路复用技术。

  1. libco 使用 hook 技术解决阻塞问题。
  2. libco 事件驱动使用 (epoll/kevent)。

但是 非阻塞 + 多路复用技术 这个是异步回调实现方式,对用户开发非常不友好,所以协程的引入就是为了解决这个问题:用同步写代码方式实现异步功能,既保证了系统性能,又避免了复杂的异步回调逻辑。


libco 有三大模块:协程管理模块,hook 模块,多路复用事件驱动模块,我们看看这三大模块如何结合起来运转。


1. 测试

我们通过 lldb 调试 mysql_real_connect 工作流程,查看 libco 三大模块是如何结合起来的。(github 测试源码

void* co_handler_mysql_query(void* arg) {
    co_enable_hook_sys();
    ...
    if (task->mysql == nullptr) {
        task->mysql = mysql_init(NULL);
        if (!mysql_real_connect(
                task->mysql,
                db->host.c_str(),
                db->user.c_str(),
                db->psw.c_str(),
                "mysql",
                db->port,
                NULL, 0)) {
            ...
        }
    }
    ...
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    ...
    db = new db_t{"127.0.0.1", 3306, "topnews", "topnews2016", "utf8mb4"};

    for (i = 0; i < g_co_cnt; i++) {
        task = new task_t{i, db, nullptr, nullptr};
        co_create(&(task->co), NULL, co_handler_mysql_query, task);
        co_resume(task->co);
    }
    co_eventloop(co_get_epoll_ct(), 0, 0);
    ...
}

2. 调用流程

  1. 创建唤醒协程进入工作状态。
  2. 遇到 connect 阻塞,通过 hook 技术,设置非阻塞。
  3. 添加 fd 事件到事件驱动。
  4. 将本协程切出挂起,等待事件回调唤醒。
  5. 主协程监控就绪事件,等待通知唤醒工作协程。

co_create -> co_resume -> CoRoutineFunc -> co_handler_mysql_query -> socket -> fcntl(O_NONBLOCK) -> connect -> epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_ADD) -> co_yield

epoll_wait -> co_resume -> co_handler_mysql_query --> epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DELETE)

2.1. hook

mysql_real_connect 为了连接 mysql 服务,创建 socket;socket 函数被 libco 成功“拦截”。

2.2. 非阻塞

在 libco 的 socket 实现函数里,通过 fcntl 将 fd 属性设置为非阻塞(O_NONBLOCK)。

}

3. 事件驱动

  1. 子协程通过 epoll_ctl 向 epoll 注册事件。
  2. 子协程挂起当前协程,让出 CPU。
  3. 主协程通过 co_eventloop 循环处理:就绪事件 + 时钟超时事件,并切换到事件对应的子协程。
  4. 子协程处理业务完毕,通过 epoll_ctl 向 epoll 删除注册事件。

3.1. 添加事件

4. 后记

  1. 协程切换跳来跳去,不明白协程切换原理的同学,感觉比异步回调还难理解。libco 将切换部分逻辑封装起来了,使用者在做业务开发时,基本不需要费脑理解 libco 内部协程调度流程。

  2. 关于 libco 的时钟和多路复用驱动逻辑实现,其实 libev 实现得不错的,如果能将 libev 和 libco 整合,应该会少一些造轮子的工夫。但是 libev 也有一定的学习成本,据说 libco 处理浮点数有问题,而 libev 时钟基于浮点数,所以某个程度上自己造轮子是可控的,虽然可能有些细节没有考虑到。
