Linux : task work 机制
task work机制可以在内核中向指定的进程添加一些任务函数,这些任务函数会在进程返回用户态时执行,使用的是该进程的上下文。包括下面的这些API:
- task_work_add
- task_work_cancel
- task_work_run
进程对象task_struct中有个字段用来存储这些待进行的任务列表头即task_works,这个结构体包含一个next指针和需要执行的函数指针。
205 /** 206 * struct callback_head - callback structure for use with RCU and task_work 207 * @next: next update requests in a list 208 * @func: actual update function to call after the grace period. 209 */ 210 struct callback_head { 211 struct callback_head *next; 212 void (*func)(struct callback_head *head); 213 };
4 5 static struct callback_head work_exited; /* all we need is ->next == NULL */ 6 7 /** 8 * task_work_add - ask the @task to execute @work->func() 9 * @task: the task which should run the callback 10 * @work: the callback to run 11 * @notify: send the notification if true 12 * 13 * Queue @work for task_work_run() below and notify the @task if @notify. 14 * Fails if the @task is exiting/exited and thus it can‘t process this @work. 15 * Otherwise @work->func() will be called when the @task returns from kernel 16 * mode or exits. 17 * 18 * This is like the signal handler which runs in kernel mode, but it doesn‘t 19 * try to wake up the @task. 20 * 21 * RETURNS: 22 * 0 if succeeds or -ESRCH. 23 */ 24 int 25 task_work_add(struct task_struct *task, struct callback_head *work, bool notify) 26 { 27 struct callback_head *head; 28 29 do { 30 head = ACCESS_ONCE(task->task_works); 31 if (unlikely(head == &work_exited)) 32 return -ESRCH; 33 work->next = head; 34 } while (cmpxchg(&task->task_works, head, work) != head); 35 36 if (notify) 37 set_notify_resume(task); 38 return 0; 39 }
主要工作:
1. 通过CAS以无锁的形式添加了一个链表元素。(新元素排在原有链表头部)
2. set_notify_resume函数向指定的进程设置了一个_TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME标记。
task_work_run执行时机
在返回用户态之前会对当前进程的标记检查,如果相关标记置位则会调用do_notify_resume

以上文件为entry_64.S,而标记定义在thread_info.c中
130 /* work to do on interrupt/exception return */ 131 #define _TIF_WORK_MASK 132 (0x0000FFFF & 133 ~(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT| 134 _TIF_SINGLESTEP|_TIF_SECCOMP|_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU))

即_TIF_WORK_MASK表示除开(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE, _TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT, _TIF_SINGLESTEP, _TIF_SECCOMP, _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU)之外的所有标记。自然包括了_TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME标记。
do_notify_resume函数
729 /* 730 * notification of userspace execution resumption 731 * - triggered by the TIF_WORK_MASK flags 732 */ 733 __visible void 734 do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, void *unused, __u32 thread_info_flags) 735 { 736 user_exit(); 737 738 #ifdef CONFIG_X86_MCE 739 /* notify userspace of pending MCEs */ 740 if (thread_info_flags & _TIF_MCE_NOTIFY) 741 mce_notify_process(); 742 #endif /* CONFIG_X86_64 && CONFIG_X86_MCE */ 743 744 if (thread_info_flags & _TIF_UPROBE) 745 uprobe_notify_resume(regs); 746 747 /* deal with pending signal delivery */ 748 if (thread_info_flags & _TIF_SIGPENDING) 749 do_signal(regs); 750 751 if (thread_info_flags & _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME) { 752 clear_thread_flag(TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME); 753 tracehook_notify_resume(regs); 754 } 755 if (thread_info_flags & _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY) 756 fire_user_return_notifiers(); 757 758 user_enter(); 759 }
可以看到在其中调用tracehook_notify_resume函数,也包括其他一些如信号处理相关的函数。
tracehook_notify_resume
174 /** 175 * tracehook_notify_resume - report when about to return to user mode 176 * @regs: user-mode registers of @current task 177 * 178 * This is called when %TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been set.

This barrier 191 * pairs with task_work_add()->set_notify_resume() after 192 * hlist_add_head(task->task_works); 193 */ 194 smp_mb__after_atomic(); 195 if (unlikely(current->task_works)) 196 task_work_run(); 197 }
在进程对象的task_works不为null的情况下才有任务需要执行。
task_work_run
77 /** 78 * task_work_run - execute the works added by task_work_add() 79 * 80 * Flush the pending works. Should be used by the core kernel code. 81 * Called before the task returns to the user-mode or stops, or when 82 * it exits.

It can‘t remove 105 * the first entry == work, cmpxchg(task_works) should 106 * fail, but it can play with *work and other entries. 107 */ 108 raw_spin_unlock_wait(&task->pi_lock); 109 smp_mb(); 110 111 /* Reverse the list to run the works in fifo order */ 112 head = NULL; 113 do { 114 next = work->next; 115 work->next = head; 116 head = work; 117 work = next; 118 } while (work); 119 120 work = head; 121 do { 122 next = work->next; 123 work->func(work); 124 work = next; 125 cond_resched(); 126 } while (work); 127 } 128 }
1. 通过CAS,以无锁的方式取得task_works链表
2. 因为原链表是按元素添加到链表的时间逆序排列的(见task_work_add),先把链表反转一遍
3. 反转链表后,遍历链表,执行各个元素的任务函数即work->func(work)
