* Garbage collect synchronized items from channels put/get queues.•••* fibers/conditions.scm (make-counter, %steps-till-gc, counter-decrement!) (counter-reset!): Moved to new module, counter.scm. * fibers/counter.scm: New file. Rename `%steps-till-gc' to `%countdown-steps'. * Makefile.am: Add counter.scm. * fibers/channels.scm (<channel>, make-channel): Add new slots `getq-gc-counter' and `putq-gc-counter'. (put-operation, get-operation): Garbage collect synchronized items from queues. * fibers/deque.scm (dequeue-filter, dequeue-filter!): New procedures. Christopher Allan Webber2017-08-104-35/+90
* Update copyright headers, adding Chris Webber where appropriate.•••* fibers/conditions.scm: * fibers/stack.scm: Update copyright headers. Christopher Allan Webber2017-08-102-0/+2
* Lighten up fibers by installing "catch" in scheduler•••This takes the load off of each fiber and speeds things up. Andy Wingo2017-08-061-21/+36
* Fix typo in schedule-task-when-fd-writableAndy Wingo2017-08-061-1/+1
* Rebase fibers on top of schedulers and tasks•••This commit refactors fibers to be based on lighter-weight "tasks", and makes the scheduler API more orthogonal. Now there are no more fiber objects (although the fibers layer could re-add them if they are useful), and fibers no longer have names (although again this could be re-added at an upper layer). Also it's the current scheduler that's bound by a parameter, not the current fiber, and as it's a thread-safe parameter it doesn't need to be bound in each fiber. Andy Wingo2017-08-066-551/+428
* Garbage collect old condition waiters.•••* fibers/stack.scm (stack-filter!): New variable. * fibers/conditions.scm (make-counter, counter-increment!) (counter-reset!, %steps-till-gc): New variables. (<condition>, make-condition): Update to take gc-step argument. (wait-operation): Occasionally garbage collect old condition waiters. Christopher Allan Webber2017-07-312-5/+56
* Add block-asyncs in fiber->thread resume path•••* fibers/operations.scm (perform-operation): Block asyncs in resume callback; otherwise the fiber doing the resuming could be scheduled away. Andy Wingo2017-02-201-4/+6
* Fix deprecation warning in (fibers operations)•••* fibers/operations.scm: Use (ice-9 threads). Andy Wingo2017-02-201-0/+5
* Fix epoll wakeup•••* fibers/epoll.scm (epoll): Like a complete idiot, I broke epoll wakeup. Fixed by calling expiry->timeout while epoll-state is waiting. Andy Wingo2017-02-201-5/+7
* Update REPL support for run-fibers changes.•••* fibers/repl.scm (fibers): Update for new run-fibers changes. Andy Wingo2017-02-201-11/+26
* run-fibers returns when initial fiber finishes•••* epoll.c (scm_primitive_epoll_wait): Accept timeout in internal time units instead of milliseconds. Avoid some overhead if the timeout is zero. * fibers/epoll.scm (epoll): Adapt to primitive-epoll-wait chance. Change get-timeout callback to an "expiry" argument and an update-expiry last-minute function. Tighten the window around the "waiting" epoll-state. * fibers.scm (%run-fibers): Remove current-read-waiter / current-write-waiter parameterization, given that fibers individually each have this parameterization. (run-fibers): Add #:drain? argument. * fibers/internal.scm (schedule-runnables-for-next-turn): Simplify a bit, inlining scheduler-poll-timeout and adapting to epoll change. (scheduler-work-pending?): New function. (run-scheduler): Simplify finish? logic. * tests/basic.scm: * tests/speedup.scm: Update to drain where needed. * fibers.texi: Update for new run-fibers termination condition. Andy Wingo2017-02-192-65/+71
* Lower preemption overhead•••* fibers/interrupts.scm (with-interrupts/sigprof): (with-interrupts/thread-cputime, with-interrupts): Separate predicate from interrupt routine, so that predicate can run off-thread. * fibers.scm (%run-fibers): Adapt. Andy Wingo2017-02-171-7/+9
* Prevent spurious preemption•••* fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>, make-scheduler): (scheduler-runcount, run-scheduler): Maintain a count of run fibers. * fibers.scm (%run-fibers): Only cause the current fiber to suspend if the runcount isn't advancing. Andy Wingo2017-02-171-2/+14
* Take advantage of accept4 interface.•••* fibers/web/server.scm (client-loop): Setvbuf here. (socket-loop): Use new accept4 interface. Andy Wingo2017-02-151-2/+2
* Tweak fibers web socket options•••* fibers/web/server.scm (client-loop): Move NODELAY things here and actually enable NODELAY (before we were... disabling it???). (socket-loop): Remove SNDBUF munging; let's assume it doesn't matter rather than the reverse. Andy Wingo2017-02-151-7/+4
* Fix epoll-modify logic•••Because this case wasn't being hit before, there were bugs. * fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Remove active fd count; we'll add a #:forever? option to run-fibers instead. Simplify sources. (make-scheduler): Adapt. (schedule-fibers-for-fd): Use resume callbacks, to allow for other kinds of callbacks. (scheduler-poll-timeout): Don't wait for active fd count to go to zero. (finalize-fd): Avoid mucking with hash tables from this potentially-gc callback. (add-fd-event-waiter): New function. (resume-on-fd-events): Call new function. Andy Wingo2017-02-151-66/+52
* Add epoll-add*!•••* fibers/epoll.scm (epoll-add*!): New function, tries an epoll-modify! then falls back to epoll-add!. Andy Wingo2017-02-151-1/+8
* Fix spurious epoll traffic•••* fibers/internal.scm (schedule-fibers-for-fd): Fix sense of the POLLERR test. This was causing us to register and unregister our fd's with the kernel all the time. This was a scalability bottleneck as adding or removing an fd from an epoll set is serialized in the kernel through one mutex (!!!!), the "epmutex"; because you can nest epoll instances the kernel uses this to prevent cycles. Hint found in Voellmy's paper on the MIO system for Haskell. Andy Wingo2017-02-141-1/+1
* Minor tweak to web server•••* fibers/web/server.scm (socket-loop): Move set-nonblocking! call to client where it parallelizes better. Andy Wingo2017-02-141-2/+3
* Gracefully handle EPIPE•••* fibers/web/server.scm (client-loop): Avoid error when reading from shut-down socket (EPIPE). Perhaps a read that gives EPIPE should produce an EOF object anyway. Andy Wingo2017-02-121-3/+4
* Add concurrent web server•••* fibers.texi (Concurrent Web Server): New section. * fibers/web/server.scm: Add web server that can run handlers concurrently. * examples/concurrent-web-hello.scm: New file. * Makefile.am (SOURCES): Add (fibers web server). Andy Wingo2017-02-111-0/+282
* Add condition variable implementation•••* fibers/conditions.scm: * tests/conditions.scm: New files. * Makefile.am: Add new files. * fibers.texi (Conditions): New section. * fibers/timers.scm (sleep-operation): Rename from wait-operation. * tests/foreign.scm: Adapt to sleep-operation change. Andy Wingo2017-02-112-3/+107
* Fix channel CAS logic•••* fibers/channels.scm (put-operation, get-operation): Fix bogus CAS that could cause us to spin in an allocation loop. Andy Wingo2017-02-081-4/+4
* Better exception handling•••* fibers/internal.scm (create-fiber): Add a start-stack and a catch-all around the fiber thunk. Note that in practice this needs the recent post-2.1.6 patch in Guile (498f3f95684361f3591106a8f9cb9065fd649288) to work well. Andy Wingo2017-02-071-4/+17
* Better findability for epoll extension.•••* fibers/config.scm.in: New file. * Makefile.am: Wire up new file. * env.in: Define FIBERS_BUILD_DIR. * fibers/epoll.scm: Use (fibers config) to get dir for epoll extension. Andy Wingo2017-01-192-1/+33
* Randomized round-robin work sharing/stealing•••* fibers.scm (start-auxiliary-threads, stop-auxiliary-threads): Adapt to scheduler-remote-peers change. (spawn-fiber): Adapt to use choose-parallel-scheduler. * fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Add choose-parallel-scheduler field. (shuffle, make-selector): New helpers. (make-scheduler): Adapt to initialize choose-parallel-scheduler field. (choose-parallel-scheduler): New public function. (run-scheduler): Use fiber-stealer. Andy Wingo2017-01-181-28/+54
* create-fiber always captures dynamic state•••* fibers/internal.scm (create-fiber): Remove dynamic-state argument; always capture the current dynamic state. * fibers/timers.scm (timer-operation): * fibers.scm (spawn-fiber): Adapt. Andy Wingo2017-01-082-11/+11
* Peer schedulers share a prompt tag•••* fibers/internal.scm (make-scheduler): Peer schedulers share a prompt tag. This eliminates TOCTTOU bugs in suspend-current-fiber when computing the suspension prompt tag. (run-scheduler): Inline run-fiber and just use the same prompt tag for all fibers. Andy Wingo2017-01-081-15/+17
* Fix race between with-interrupts and thread start•••* fibers/interrupts.scm (with-interrupts/thread-cputime): Fix race. Andy Wingo2017-01-081-4/+10
* Fix clock-nanosleep wrapper•••* fibers/posix-clocks.scm (clock-nanosleep): clock_nanosleep returns the error value directly; it doesn't set errno. Fix. Andy Wingo2017-01-081-9/+7
* Add support for operations from foreign threads•••* tests/foreign.scm: New file. * Makefile.am: Add new file. * fibers/operations.scm (perform-operation): Support blocking operations from foreign threads (without a scheduler). * fibers/timers.scm (timer-sched, *timer-sched*, timer-operation): Add support for timeouts that use an auxiliary thread instead of relying on the current scheduler. Andy Wingo2017-01-052-2/+51
* Remove epoll dep on suspendable ports•••* epoll.c (scm_primitive_epoll_wake): New function. (scm_primitive_epoll_wait): If the epoll was woken, drain the read pipe directly. (init_fibers_epoll): Adapt prototypes. * fibers/epoll.scm (epoll-wake!): Use primitive-epoll-wake. (epoll): Let primitive-epoll-wait handle wakeup. Andy Wingo2017-01-041-17/+5
* Centralize operation wrap handling•••* fibers/operations.scm (<base-op>): Update comment. (perform-operation): Wrap resume proc before calling block function. * fibers/channels.scm (put-operation, get-operation): * fibers/timers.scm (timer-operation): Adapt to pre-wrapped resume proc. Andy Wingo2017-01-043-28/+28
* Prepare for support for blocking operations•••* fibers/operations.scm (perform-operation): Block function takes sched and resume function, not fiber. Will allow blocking operations in the future. * fibers/internal.scm (add-timer): Rename from resume-on-timer; just call a thunk after a time has passed. * fibers/timers.scm (timer-operation): Adapt to resume-on-timer and operation changes. * fibers/channels.scm (put-operation, get-operation): Adapt to operation changes. Andy Wingo2017-01-044-62/+58
* Fix ,spawn-fiber•••* fibers/repl.scm (spawn-fiber): Use spawn-fiber instead of create-fiber to get right dynamic-state. Andy Wingo2016-12-301-1/+1
* Flesh out remote peers interface•••* fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Add remote-peers setter, and expose getter publically. (make-scheduler): Change remote-peers arg to "parallelism", and use setter to initialize remote peers. Andy Wingo2016-12-291-3/+14
* C-c works on threads stuck in epoll•••* epoll.c (scm_primitive_epoll_wait): Add wakefd argument, and use facilities from git guile to ensure that C-c will wake a thread sleeping in epoll. (init_fibers_epoll): Declare additional primitive-epoll-wait arg. * fibers/epoll.scm (epoll): Tell Guile about the wake fd. Andy Wingo2016-12-291-1/+3
* Fix yield-current-fiber•••* fibers/internal.scm (yield-current-fiber): Fix to allow yield-current-fiber to be run from an interrupt tick, when it's possible that no fiber is current. Andy Wingo2016-12-231-5/+8
* Enable work stealing in run-scheduler•••* fibers.scm (run-fibers): Store result in an atomic box, given that the initial fiber could migrate. * fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Add remote-peers field. (<fiber>): Add set-fiber-scheduler!. (make-scheduler): Adapt to <scheduler> change. (scheduler-finished?): New helper. (scheduler-poll-timeout): Take a finished? predicate to know when to wait and when to return directly. (schedule-runnables-for-next-turn): Plumb finished? predicate through. (run-scheduler): Avoid returning until finished? is true. Refactor to add work stealing. (steal-fiber!): New helper. Andy Wingo2016-12-221-37/+53
* Get current scheduler from current fiber•••* fibers.scm (run-fibers): Refine #:keep-scheduler? default. (current-fiber-scheduler): Rename from require-current-scheduler, and use the current fiber to get at the scheduler. (spawn-fiber): Let create-fiber handle dynamic state shenanigans, as it needs to ensure that current-fiber is bound in the thunk. * fibers/internal.scm (with-scheduler): Don't parameterize current-scheduler, as that binding for a given scheduler needs to change over time, and the with-dynamic-state prevents this from happening. (schedule-fiber!): Wake schedulers not on the current kernel thread. (run-fiber): Don't parameterize current-fiber; it's lost across the with-dynamic-state. (create-fiber): Instead set current-fiber inside the with-dynamic-state. (suspend-current-fiber, yield-current-fiber): Get current scheduler from current fiber. Andy Wingo2016-12-221-27/+25
* run-scheduler pops one fiber at a time•••* fibers/internal.scm (run-scheduler): Pop one fiber at a time. Andy Wingo2016-12-221-13/+15
* Rework runqueue as pair of stacks•••* fibers/stack.scm: New file. * Makefile.am: Add new file. * fibers/internal.scm: Rework runqueue to have separate current and next stacks. We want to expose the current runqueue so that remote schedulers can steal work, but we also need to know when we flip the next runqueue to the current runqueue so that we can pull in additional wakeups from epoll and timers. Andy Wingo2016-12-222-23/+92
* Beginnings of work stealing•••* fibers/deque.scm (update!): Don't spin if value didn't change. (dequeue!): New function. * fibers/internal.scm (schedule-fibers-for-fd): Add comment about stealing and fd's. (steal-work!): New internal function. Andy Wingo2016-12-212-4/+26

* Factor interrupt generation to separate facility•••* fibers/interrupts.scm: New file. * fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Remove Hz field and adapt users. (run-scheduler): Remove preemption; (fibers) handles this now. (yield-current-fiber): New primitive. * fibers.scm (run-fibers): Use interrupts module and wrap run-scheduler in `with-interrupts'. * Makefile.am: Add new file. Andy Wingo2016-12-162-50/+105
* Add posix-clocks.scm•••* fibers/posix-clocks.scm: New file. * Makefile.am: Add new file. Andy Wingo2016-12-161-0/+166
* Add support for preemption•••* Makefile.am: Add new test. * TODO.md: Remove stale TODO entries. * fibers.scm (run-fibers): Add #:hz parameter. * fibers.texi (Design): Mention that we support preemption. (Using Fibers): Update for preemption. * fibers/internal.scm (<scheduler>): Add hz field. (make-scheduler): Add #:hz initarg. (maybe-preemptive): New helper. (run-scheduler): Use maybe-preemptive. * tests/preemption.scm: New test. Andy Wingo2016-12-121-18/+49
