Since commit "MEDIUM: connection: make the subscribe() call able to wakeup
if ready" we have the guarantee that the tasklet will be woken up if
subscribing to a connection for an even that's ready. Since we have too
many tasklet_wakeup() calls in mux-h1, let's now use this property to
improve the situation a bit.
With this change, no syscall count changed, however the number of useless
calls to some functions significantly went down. Here are the differences
for the test below (100k req), in number of calls per request :
$ ./h1load -n 100000 -t 4 -c 1000 -T 20 -F 127.0.0.1:8001/?s=1k/t=20
before after change note
tasklet_wakeup: 3 1 -66%
h1_io_cb: 4 3 -25%
h1_send: 6.7 5.4 -19%
h1_wake: 0.73 0.44 -39%
h1_process: 4.7 3.4 -27%
h1_wake_stream_for_send: 6.7 5.5 -18%
si_cs_process 3.7 3.4 -7.8%
conn_fd_handler 2.7 2.4 -10%
raw_sock_to_buf: 4 2 -50%
pool_free: 4 2 -50% from failed rx calls
Note that the situation could be further improved by having muxes lazily
subscribe to Rx events in case the FD is already being polled. However
this requires deeper changes to implement a LAZY_RECV subscribe mode,
and to replace the FD's active bit by 3 states representing the desired
action to perform on the FD during the update, among NONE (no need to
change), POLL (can't proceed without), and STOP (buffer full). This
would only impact Rx since on Tx we know what we have to send. The
savings to expect from this might be more visible with splicing and/or
when dealing with many connections having long think times.
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)
