Detailed Description

mmap-based thread-safe fixed-size record double-buffered logging.

This scheme should be about as fast as practicable. By fiat, log records are rounded to a multiple of CLIB_CACHE_LINE_BYTES. Consumer code calls clib_maplog_get_entry(...) to obtain a pointer to a log entry.

We use an atomic ticket-counter to dole out log entries. Whichever client thread crosses the double-buffer boundary is in charge of replacing the log segment which just filled.

Function Documentation

void clib_maplog_close

(

clib_maplog_main_t *

mm

)

Close a mapped log, and update the log header file.

Unmap the current log segments. Read the log header. Update the number of records, and number of files

Parameters

Definition at line 285 of file maplog.c.

Here is the call graph for this function:

static void* clib_maplog_get_entry ( clib_maplog_main_t *  mm )

inlinestatic

Obtain a log entry pointer.

Increments the atomic ticket counter, and returns a pointer to the newly-allocated log entry. The slowpath function replaces a full log segment with a new/fresh/empty log segment

Parameters

[in]

mm

maplog object pointer

Returns

pointer to the allocated log entry

Definition at line 130 of file maplog.h.

int clib_maplog_init

(

clib_maplog_init_args_t *

a

)

Initialize a maplog object.

Compute record and file size parameters Create and map two log segments to seed the process

Parameters

Definition at line 28 of file maplog.c.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int clib_maplog_process	(	char *	file_basename,
		void *	fp_arg
	)

Process a complete maplog.

Reads the maplog header. Map and process all log segments in order. Calls the callback function once per file with a record count.

Note: if the file header isn't updated by calling clib_maplog_close(), it will appear to have an infinite number of records in an infinite number of files.

So long as the callback function understands that possibility

• by simply ignoring NULL records - the scheme still works...

Parameters

[in]	file_basename	Same basename supplied to clib_maplog_init
[in]	fp_arg	Callback function pointer

Definition at line 366 of file maplog.c.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void clib_maplog_update_header

(

clib_maplog_main_t *

mm

)

Update a mapped log header file.

Read the log header. Update the number of records, and number of files

Parameters

Definition at line 233 of file maplog.c.
