Currently the code will silently blank out events if there are more
then 512 epoll events, causing them never to be handled at all. This
patch removes the cap on the number of events for epoll_wait, thereby
avoiding this issue.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
When a child event is disabled (in order to be freed) and there is no
SIGCHLD signal event, sd_event_source_set_enabled will disable SIGCHLD
even if there are other child events.
Also remove some unneeded signalfd updates.

It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
This will allow sd-event to be integrated into an external event loop, which
in turn will allow (say) glib-based applications to use our various libraries,
without manually integrating each of them (bus, rtnl, dhcp, ...).
The external event-loop should integrate sd-event int he following way:
Every iteration must start with a call to sd_event_prepare(), which will
return 0 if no event sources are ready to be processed, a positive value if
they are and a negative value on error. sd_event_prepare() may only be called
following sd_event_dispatch(); a call to sd_event_wait() indicating that no
sources are ready to be dispatched; or a failed call to sd_event_dispatch() or
sd_event_wait().
A successful call to sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are
ready to be dispatched must be followed by a call to sd_event_wait(),
which will return 0 if it timed out without event sources being ready to
be processed, a negative value on error and a positive value otherwise.
sd_event_wait() may only be called following a successful call to
sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are ready to be dispatched.
If sd_event_wait() indicates that some events sources are ready to be
dispatched, it must be followed by a call to sd_event_dispatch(). This
is the only time sd_event_dispatch() may be called.
This is not certain to be likely.
Lennart says: a frequent usecase is invoking some function regularly in intervals
in such a case every single iteration we'll have to rearm
A call to sd_event_source_set_io_events() skipps calling into the kernel
if the new event-mask matches the old one. This is safe for
level-triggered sources as the kernel moves them onto the ready-list
automatically if events change. However, edge-triggered sources might not
be on the ready-list even though events are present.
A call to sd_event_source_set_io_events() with EPOLLET set might thus be
used to just move the io-source onto the ready-list so the next poll
will return it again. This is very useful to avoid starvation in
priority-based event queues.
Imagine a read() loop on an edge-triggered fd. If we cannot read data fast
enough to drain the receive queue, we might decide to skip reading for now
and schedule it for later. On edge-triggered io-sources we have to make
sure it's put on the ready-list so the next dispatch-round will return it
again if it's still the highest priority task. We could make sd-event
handle edge-triggered sources directly and allow marking them ready again.
However, it's much simpler to let the kernel do that for now via
EPOLL_CTL_MOD.
These are the counterpart of "floating" bus slots, i.e. event sources
that are bound to the lifetime of the event object itself, and thus
don't require an explicit reference to be kept.
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
This new event source is triggered by the dispatching of any non-post
event source. It can thus be used to do clean-up or recheck work,
triggered by any other event source having been executed.
This is different from "defer" event source which are unconditionally
triggered as long as they are enabled. A "defer" event source that does
nothing will result in the event loop busy looping unless it is turned
off eventually. This is different for "post" event sources that will be
only triggered when some other non-post ran, and will thus not keep the
event loop busy on its own.
There was a copy-paste error introduced in commit c2ba3ad660
which causes the following error when using timer units:
Assertion '(x->type == SOURCE_MONOTONIC && y->type == SOURCE_MONOTONIC) || (x->type == SOURCE_REALTIME && y->type == SOURCE_REALTIME)'
failed at src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c:264, function latest_time_prioq_compare(). Aborting.
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
If -flto is used then gcc will generate a lot more warnings than before,
among them a number of use-without-initialization warnings. Most of them
without are false positives, but let's make them go away, because it
doesn't really matter.
Setting a child-source state to anything but SD_EVENT_OFF currently does
nothing. The condition logic is flawed. Move the state update *below* the
test for the previous state.
Fixes a crash if you call:
sd_event_source_set_enabled(source, SD_EVENT_ON);
sd_event_source_unref(source);
on a child-source in its own callback.
