Till now in process_runnable_tasks() we used to reserve a fixed portion
of max_processed to urgent tasks, then a portion of what remains for
normal tasks, then what remains for bulk tasks. This causes two issues:
- the current budget for processed tasks could be drained once for
all by higher level tasks so that they couldn't have enough left
for the next run. For example, if bulk tasklets cause task wakeups,
the required share to run them could be eaten by other bulk tasklets.
- it forces the urgent tasks to be run before scanning the tree so that
we know how many tasks to pick from the tree, and this isn't very
efficient cache-wise.
This patch changes this so that we compute upfront how max_processed will
be shared between classes that require so. We can then decide in advance
to pick a certain number of tasks from the tree, then execute all tasklets
in turn. When reaching the end, if there's still some budget, we can go
back and do the same thing again, improving chances to pick new work
before the global budget is depleted.
The default weights have been set to 50% for urgent tasklets, 37% for
normal ones and 13% for the bulk ones. In practice, there are not that
many urgent tasklets but when they appear they are cheap and must be
processed in as large batches as possible. Every time there is nothing
to pick there, the unused budget is shared between normal and bulk and
this allows bulk tasklets to still have quite some CPU to run on.
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
