* contrib/timerwheel: bad 32-bit, use builtin fls(), fix copyrightKaleb S. KEITHLEY2017-05-151-69/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's bad form to remove other people's copyright and license when you copy their source for your own use. Defining BITS_PER_LONG as 64 is incorrect on 32-bit platforms. The mismatch between the unsigned long of the timer and the int param to fls() means on 64-bit platforms that any bits set in the high 32-bits of the the timer are lost/ignored. gf_tw_find_last_bit() is meant to find the last bit in an array of longs. It's overkill for gluster's timerwheel where we only ever pass a single long; replacing it with a direct call to fls() which is renamed to gf_tw_fls() The timer routines are slightly modified from the kernel timer functions that first appeared circa 2.6.x in .../kernel/timer.c AFAICT. find_last_bit() comes from the (linux) kernel (.../lib/find_bit.c in 4.x kernels, .../lib/find_last_bit.c in 3.x kernels) but as noted above, it is removed with this patch. __fls() comes from the linux kernel (.../include/asm-generic/ bitops/{__fls.h,builtin-__fls.h} Restoring/updating the copyright and license to the version from the 4.x kernel find_bit.c. (timer.c does not have a license, __fls.h and builtin-__fls.h do not have a copyright or license, but the whole kernel is licensed under GPLv2 anyway.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simply always defining BITS_PER_LONG as 64 seems like it's almost certainly wrong on 32-bit platforms and could potentially result in incorrect results. fls and, e.g., __builtin_ffs() return the same answer for any given input, making it seem like the name fls (find last set) is a misnomer and ffs (find first set, starting from the lsb) is the more accurate name. Using __builtin_ffs() causes the compiler (in intel) to emit code with the bsf (bit scan forward) insn, which is approx 3x faster than the code in ffs(), at least on the machine I tried it on. (Even so, it takes 10M+ iterations for the speed difference to be measurable. Choosing the "faster" implementation seems like a no-brainer, even if there may not be any significant gain by doing so.)

* contrib/timer-wheel: import linux kernel timer-wheelVenky Shankar2015-03-181-0/+82
This patch imports timer-wheel[1] algorithm from the linux kernel (~/kernel/time/timer.c) with some modifications. Timer-wheel is an efficent way to track millions of timers for expiry. This is a variant of the simple but RAM heavy approach of having a list (timer bucket) for every future second. Timer-wheel categorizes every future second into a logarithmic array of arrays. This is done by splitting the 32 bit "timeout" value into fixed "sliced" bits, thereby each category has a fixed size array to which buckets are assigned. A classic split would be 8+6+6+6 (used in this patch) which results in 256+64+64+64 == 512 buckets. Therefore, the entire 32 bit futuristic timeouts have been mapped into 512 buckets. [ NOTE: There are other possible splits, such as "8+8+8+8", but this patch sticks to the widely used and tested default. ] Therfore, the first category "holds" timers whose expiry range is between 1..256, the next cateogry holds 257..16384, third category 16385..1048576 and so on. When timers are added, unless it's in the first category, timers with different timeouts could end up in the same bucket. This means that the timers are "partially sorted" -- sorted in their highest bits. The expiry code walks the first array of buckets and exprires any pending timers (1..256). Next, at time value 257, timers in the first bucket of the second array is "cascaded" onto the first category and timers are placed into respective buckets according to the thier timeout values. Cascading "brings down" the timers timeout to the coorect bucket of their respective category. Therefore, timers are sorted by their highest bits of the timeout value and then by the lower bits too.
