53 | This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your |
53 | operating system supports. |
54 | operating system supports. |
54 | |
55 | |
|
|
56 | Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program |
|
|
57 | (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation |
|
|
58 | will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This |
|
|
59 | is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even |
|
|
60 | when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers |
|
|
61 | etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are |
|
|
62 | normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster |
|
|
63 | on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations |
|
|
64 | concurrently. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | While this works on all types of file descriptors (for example sockets), |
|
|
67 | using these functions on file descriptors that support nonblocking |
|
|
68 | operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient. Use an event |
|
|
69 | loop for that (such as the L<Event|Event> module): IO::AIO will naturally |
|
|
70 | fit into such an event loop itself. |
|
|
71 | |
55 | Currently, a number of threads are started that execute your read/writes |
72 | In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your |
56 | and signal their completion. You don't need thread support in your libc or |

60 | not well-supported (Linux doesn't allow them on normal files currently, |
77 | not well-supported or restricted (GNU/Linux doesn't allow them on normal |
61 | for example), and they would only support aio_read and aio_write, so the |
78 | files currently, for example), and they would only support aio_read and |
62 | remaining functionality would have to be implemented using threads anyway. |

87 | =head2 EXAMPLE |
|
|
88 | |
|
|
89 | This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads |
|
|
90 | F</etc/passwd> asynchronously: |
|
|
91 | |
|
|
92 | use Fcntl; |
|
|
93 | use Event; |
|
|
94 | use IO::AIO; |
|
|
95 | |
|
|
96 | # register the IO::AIO callback with Event |
|
|
97 | Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno, |
|
|
98 | poll => 'r', |
|
|
99 | cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb); |
|
|
100 | |
|
|
101 | # queue the request to open /etc/passwd |
|
|
102 | aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub { |
|
|
103 | my $fh = $_[0] |
|
|
104 | or die "error while opening: $!"; |
|
|
105 | |
|
|
106 | # stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking |
|
|
107 | my $size = -s $fh; |
|
|
108 | |
|
|
109 | # queue a request to read the file |
|
|
110 | my $contents; |
|
|
111 | aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub { |
|
|
112 | $_[0] == $size |
|
|
113 | or die "short read: $!"; |
|
|
114 | |
|
|
115 | close $fh; |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | # file contents now in $contents |
|
|
118 | print $contents; |
|
|
119 | |
|
|
120 | # exit event loop and program |
|
|
121 | Event::unloop; |
|
|
122 | }; |
|
|
123 | }; |
|
|
124 | |
|
|
125 | # possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows, |
|
|
126 | # check for sockets etc. etc. |
|
|
127 | |

|
131 | =head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME |
|
|
132 | |
|
|
133 | Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not |
|
|
134 | directly visible to Perl. |
|
|
135 | |
|
|
136 | If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl |
|
|
137 | object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned, |
|
|
138 | which saves a bit of memory. |
|
|
139 | |
|
|
140 | The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents |
|
|
141 | are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it. |
|
|
142 | |
|
|
143 | During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states, |
|
|
144 | in order: |
|
|
145 | |
|
|
146 | =over 4 |
|
|
147 | |
|
|
148 | =item ready |
|
|
149 | |
|
|
150 | Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state, |
|
|
151 | waiting for a thread to execute it. |
|
|
152 | |
|
|
153 | =item execute |
|
|
154 | |
|
|
155 | A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently |
|
|
156 | executing it (e.g. blocking in read). |
|
|
157 | |
|
|
158 | =item pending |
|
|
159 | |
|
|
160 | The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing. |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result |
|
|
163 | processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb> |
|
|
164 | (or another function with the same effect). |
|
|
165 | |
|
|
166 | =item result |
|
|
167 | |
|
|
168 | The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>. |
|
|
169 | |
|
|
170 | The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by |
|
|
171 | calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing |
|
|
172 | any groups they are contained in. |
|
|
173 | |
|
|
174 | =item done |
|
|
175 | |
|
|
176 | Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore |
|
|
177 | (except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual |
|
|
178 | aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or |
|
|
179 | result in a runtime error). |

|
|
250 | Returns the priority value that would be used for the next request and, if |
|
|
251 | C<$pri> is given, sets the priority for the next aio request. |
|
|
252 | |
|
|
253 | The default priority is C<0>, the minimum and maximum priorities are C<-4> |
|
|
254 | and C<4>, respectively. Requests with higher priority will be serviced |
|
|
255 | first. |
|
|
256 | |
|
|
257 | The priority will be reset to C<0> after each call to one of the C<aio_*> |
|
|
258 | functions. |
|
|
259 | |
|
|
260 | Example: open a file with low priority, then read something from it with |
|
|
261 | higher priority so the read request is serviced before other low priority |
