131 | Sets the priority for the next aio request. The default priority |
|
|
132 | is C<0>, the minimum and maximum priorities are C<-4> and C<4>, |

704 | [VERY EXPERIMENTAL] |
|
|
705 | |
|
|
706 | Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached |
|
|
707 | generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that, |
|
|
708 | although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group, |
|
|
709 | this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For |
|
|
710 | example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat> |
|
|
711 | requests, delaying any later requests for a long time. |
|
|
712 | |
|
|
713 | To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can |
|
|
714 | instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The |
|
|
715 | feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>, |
|
|
716 | below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more |
|
|
717 | requests. |
|
|
718 | |
|
|
719 | The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does |
|
|
720 | not impose any limits). |
|
|
721 | |
|
|
722 | If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be |
|
|
723 | automatically removed from the group. |
|
|
724 | |
|
|
725 | If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically. |
|
|
726 | |
|
|
727 | Example: |
|
|
728 | |
|
|
729 | # stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently: |
|
|
730 | |
|
|
731 | my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" }; |
|
|
732 | limit $grp 4; |
|
|
733 | feed $grp sub { |
|
|
734 | my $file = pop @files |
|
|
735 | or return; |
|
|
736 | |
|
|
737 | add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... }; |
|
|
738 | }; |
|
|
739 | |
|
|
740 | =item limit $grp $num |
|
|
741 | |
|
|
742 | Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever |
|
|
743 | the group contains less than this many requests. |
|
|
744 | |
|
|
745 | Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process. |

905 | =head2 MEMORY USAGE |
|
|
906 | |
|
|
907 | Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 128 bytes |
|
|
908 | of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly a few |
|
|
909 | hundred bytes). Perl scalars and other data passed into aio requests will |
|
|
910 | also be locked. |
|
|
911 | |
|
|
912 | This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a |
|
|
913 | problem. |
|
|
914 | |
|
|
915 | Each thread needs a stack area which is usually around 16k, sometimes much |
|
|
916 | larger, depending on the OS. |
