Hi, Jamal,
Please find the updated version of delayacct-genetlink.patch. We hope
this iteration is closer to your expectation. I have copied the enums
you suggested in your previous review comments and used them.
Comments addressed (in this patch)
- Changed the code to use TLV's for data exchange between kernel and
user space
Thanks,
Balbir
Documentation for the patch
Create a generic netlink interface (NETLINK_GENERIC family),
called "taskstats", for getting delay and cpu statistics of
tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit.
More changes expected. Following comments will go into a
Documentation file:
When a task is alive, userspace can get its stats by sending a
command containing its pid. Sending a tgid returns the sum of stats
of the tasks belonging to that tgid (where such a sum makes sense).
Together, the command interface allows stats for a large number of
tasks to be collected more efficiently than would be possible
through /proc or any per-pid interface.
The netlink interface also sends the stats for each task to userspace
when the task is exiting. This permits fine-grain accounting for
short-lived tasks, which is important if userspace is doing its own
aggregation of statistics based on some grouping of tasks
(e.g. CSA jobs, ELSA banks or CKRM classes).
If the exiting task belongs to a thread group (with more members than itself)
, the latters delay stats are also sent out on the task's exit. This allows
userspace to get accurate data at a per-tgid level while the tid's of a tgid
are exiting one by one.
The interface has been deliberately kept distinct from the delay
accounting code since it is potentially usable by other kernel components
that need to export per-pid/tgid data. The format of data returned to
userspace is versioned and the command interface easily extensible to
facilitate reuse.
If reuse is not deemed useful enough, the naming, placement of functions
and config options will be modified to make this an interface for delay
accounting alone.
