BIND9的架构与机制笔记1

　　BIND9采用的是事件驱动的机制来工作，而事件的源头则是IO，IO在linux使用的EPOLL的边缘触发模式。

　　本篇说的是epoll，BIND9如果创建了watcher线程（宏USE_WATCHER_THREAD控制），这里就讨论有线程的情况，实际上即使不创建

线程干的也都是一样的活。在lib/isc/socket.c中setup_watcher函数：（所有的代码都是截取的epoll下的片段，因为还有kqueue，devpoll，select等的实现代码，太多了）

#elif defined(USE_EPOLL)
    manager->nevents = ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS;
    manager->events = isc_mem_get(mctx, sizeof(struct epoll_event) *
                      manager->nevents);
    if (manager->events == NULL)
        return (ISC_R_NOMEMORY);
    manager->epoll_fd = epoll_create(manager->nevents);
    if (manager->epoll_fd == -1) {
        result = isc__errno2result(errno);
        isc__strerror(errno, strbuf, sizeof(strbuf));
        UNEXPECTED_ERROR(__FILE__, __LINE__,
                 "epoll_create %s: %s",
                 isc_msgcat_get(isc_msgcat, ISC_MSGSET_GENERAL,
                        ISC_MSG_FAILED, "failed"),
                 strbuf);
        isc_mem_put(mctx, manager->events,
                sizeof(struct epoll_event) * manager->nevents);
        return (result);
    }
#ifdef USE_WATCHER_THREAD
    result = watch_fd(manager, manager->pipe_fds[0], SELECT_POKE_READ);
    if (result != ISC_R_SUCCESS) {
        close(manager->epoll_fd);
        isc_mem_put(mctx, manager->events,
                sizeof(struct epoll_event) * manager->nevents);
        return (result);
    }
#endif    /* USE_WATCHER_THREAD */

先是创建了要监视的最大socket fd数目（manager->nevents）对应的epoll_event结构体数组，然后调用epoll_create函数创建一个epoll fd，参数则是指定监视的socket fd

最大数目。我的内核版本是3.13，man一下epoll_create发现它是这样说的：epoll_create()  creates  an  epoll(7) instance.  Since Linux 2.6.8, thesize argument is ignored, but must be  greater  than  zero。这个函数在2.6.8内核以后就忽略参数size了，但是传递的参数值一定要大于0。后来找了一下资料，网上的高手的博客说的就很清楚了http://www.cnblogs.com/apprentice89/p/3234677.html。继续往下说，后面的watch_fd实在创建线程的情况下才有，就是将pipe_fds[0]这个管道描述符，也就是一个可读的流，而上述的socket fd都是可以归为流。watch_fd的实现代码：

#elif defined(USE_EPOLL)
        struct epoll_event event;

        if (msg == SELECT_POKE_READ)
                event.events = EPOLLIN;
        else
                event.events = EPOLLOUT;
        memset(&event.data, 0, sizeof(event.data));
        event.data.fd = fd;
        if (epoll_ctl(manager->epoll_fd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, fd, &event) == -1 &&
            errno != EEXIST) {
                result = isc__errno2result(errno);
        }

        return (result);

这是将pipe_fds[0]加入epoll_fd的监听队列，EPOLL_CTL_ADD是操作类型，注册该fd到epoll_fd上。这个管道的目的是接收管理该线程的消息，比如线程退出。

那么进入线程看：

无限循环，epoll_wait当监听的epoll_fd队列上有IO事件发生时，将对应的socket fd和事件放入events数组中，并且将这些注册在epoll_fd上的socket fd对应事件清空。

process_fds遍历数组，找到对应的socket fd，并判断该fd是不是线程控制管道，如果是则会在执行完其他socket fd上的对应事件后再处理管道中的控制消息。
