7 /** \file sched.h Sched and task structures and exported symbols from sched.c. */
11 * Paraslash's scheduler.
13 * Designed with KISS in mind. It maintains a list of task structures which is
14 * extended when a new task is registered. Each task may define a pre_select
15 * function which is called from the scheduler main loop before it calls
16 * select(). Similarly, each task must define a post_select function which is
17 * called after the select call.
20 /** Initial value before any pre_select call. */
21 struct timeval default_timeout;
22 /** The current timeout for the upcoming select call. */
23 struct timeval select_timeout;
24 /** fds that should be watched for readability. */
26 /** fds that should be watched for writability. */
28 /** Highest numbered file descriptor in any of the above fd sets. */
30 /** If non-NULL, use this function instead of para_select. */
31 int (*select_function)(int, fd_set *, fd_set *, struct timeval *);
32 /** Tasks which have been registered to the scheduler. */
33 struct list_head task_list;
37 * Paraslash's task structure.
39 * This is considered an internal structure and will eventually be made private.
44 /** Copied from the task_info struct during task_register(). */
45 void (*pre_select)(struct sched *s, struct task *t);
46 /** Copied from the task_info struct during task_register(). */
47 int (*post_select)(struct sched *s, struct task *t);
48 /** Whether this task is active (>=0) or in error state (<0). */
50 /** Position of the task in the task list of the scheduler. */
51 struct list_head node;
52 /** The task name supplied when the task was registered(). */
54 /** If less than zero, the task was notified by another task. */
56 /** Whether the task structure should be freed in sched_shutdown(). */
58 /** True if task is in error state and exit status has been queried. */
60 /** Usually a pointer to the struct containing this task. */
64 /** Information that must be supplied by callers of \ref task_register(). */
66 /** Used for log messages and by \ref get_task_list(). */
69 * The optional pre select method.
71 * Its purpose is to add file descriptors to the fd sets of the
72 * scheduler and to decrease the select timeout if necessary.
74 void (*pre_select)(struct sched *s, struct task *t);
76 * The mandatory post select method.
78 * Its purpose is to evaluate and act upon the results of the previous
79 * select call. If this function returns a negative value, the
80 * scheduler unregisters the task.
82 int (*post_select)(struct sched *s, struct task *t);
84 * This pointer is saved when the task is register(ed). It may be
85 * queried from ->pre_select() and ->post_select() via \ref
86 * task_context(). Usually this is a pointer to the struct owned by the
87 * caller which contains the task pointer as one member.
93 * This is set by the scheduler at the beginning of its main loop. It may be
94 * used (read-only) from everywhere. As none of the functions called by the
95 * scheduler are allowed to block, this value should be accurate enough so that
96 * there is no need to call clock_gettime() directly.
