12 #define _UCW_FASTBUF_H
18 * === Internal structure [[internal]]
20 * Generally speaking, a fastbuf consists of a buffer and a set of callbacks.
21 * All front-end functions operate on the buffer and if the buffer becomes
22 * empty or fills up, they ask the corresponding callback to handle the
23 * situation. Back-ends then differ just in the definition of the callbacks.
25 * The state of the fastbuf is represented by a <<struct_fastbuf,`struct fastbuf`>>,
26 * which is a simple structure describing the state of the buffer (the pointers
27 * `buffer`, `bufend`), the front-end cursor (`bptr`), the back-end cursor (`bstop`),
28 * position of the back-end cursor in the file (`pos`), some flags (`flags`)
29 * and pointers to the callback functions.
31 * The buffer can be in one of the following states:
35 * +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
36 * | unused | free space |
37 * +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
39 * buffer <= bstop (BE pos) <= bptr (FE pos) <= bufend
41 * * This schema describes a fastbuf after its initialization or bflush().
42 * * There is no cached data and we are ready for any read or write operation
43 * (well, only if the back-end supports it).
44 * * The interval `[bptr, bufend]` can be used by front-ends
45 * for writing. If it is empty, the `spout` callback gets called
46 * upon the first write attempt to allocate a new buffer. Otherwise
47 * the fastbuf silently comes to the writing mode.
48 * * When a front-end needs to read something, it calls the `refill` callback.
49 * * The pointers can be either all non-`NULL` or all NULL.
50 * * `bstop == bptr` in most back-ends, but it is not necessary. Some
51 * in-memory streams take advantage of this.
55 * +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
56 * | read data | unused |
57 * +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
59 * buffer <= bptr (FE pos) <= bstop (BE pos) <= bufend
61 * * If we try to read something, we get to the reading mode.
62 * * No writing is allowed until a flush operation. But note that @bflush()
63 * will simply set `bptr` to `bstop` before `spout`
64 * and it breaks the position of the front-end's cursor,
65 * so the user should seek afwards.
66 * * The interval `[buffer, bstop]` contains a block of data read by the back-end.
67 * `bptr` is the front-end's cursor which points to the next character to be read.
68 * After the last character is read, `bptr == bstop` and the `refill` callback
69 * gets called upon the next read attempt to bring further data.
70 * This gives us an easy way how to implement @bungetc().
74 * +-----------------------+----------------+-----------------------+
75 * | unused | written data | free space |
76 * +-----------------------+----------------+-----------------------+
78 * buffer <= bstop (BE pos) < bptr (FE pos) <= bufend
80 * * This schema corresponds to the situation after a write attempt.
81 * * No reading is allowed until a flush operation.
82 * * The `bptr` points at the position where the next character
83 * will be written to. When we want to write, but `bptr == bufend`, we call
84 * the `spout` hook to flush the witten data and get an empty buffer.
85 * * `bstop` usually points at the beginning of the written data,
86 * but it is not necessary.
89 * Rules for back-ends:
91 * - Front-ends are only allowed to change the value of `bptr`, some flags
92 * and if a fatal error occurs, then also `bstop`. Back-ends can rely on it.
93 * - `buffer <= bstop <= bufend` and `buffer <= bptr <= bufend`.
94 * - `pos` should be the real position in the file corresponding to the location of `bstop` in the buffer.
95 * It can be modified by any back-end's callback, but the position of `bptr` (`pos + (bptr - bstop)`)
96 * must stay unchanged after `refill` or `spout`.
97 * - Failed callbacks (except `close`) should use @bthrow().
98 * - Any callback pointer may be NULL in case the callback is not implemented.
99 * - Callbacks can change not only `bptr` and `bstop`, but also the location and size of the buffer;
100 * the fb-mem back-end takes advantage of it.
103 * * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
106 * * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (reading or flushed).
107 * * out: `buffer <= bptr <= bstop <= bufend` (reading).
108 * * Resulting `bptr == bstop` signals the end of file.
109 * The next reading attempt will again call `refill` which can succeed this time.
110 * * The callback must also return zero on EOF (iff `bptr == bstop`).
113 * * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (writing or flushed).
114 * * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr < bufend` (flushed).
117 * * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
118 * * in: `(ofs >= 0 && whence == SEEK_SET) || (ofs <= 0 && whence == SEEK_END)`.
119 * * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
122 * * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed or after @bthrow()).
123 * * `close` must always free all internal structures, even when it throws an exception.
127 * This structure contains the state of the fastbuf. See the discussion above
131 byte is_fastbuf[0]; /* Dummy field for checking of type casts */
132 byte *bptr, *bstop; /* State of the buffer */

157 * === Fastbuf on files [[fbparam]]
159 * If you want to use fastbufs to access files, you can choose one of several
160 * back-ends and set their parameters.
162 * All file fastbufs are tied to resources automatically.
169 FB_STD, /* Standard buffered I/O */
170 FB_DIRECT, /* Direct I/O bypassing system caches (see fb-direct.c for a description) */
171 FB_MMAP /* Memory mapped files */
175 * When you open a file fastbuf, you can use this structure to select a back-end
176 * and set its parameters. If you want just an "ordinary" file stream, you can
177 * happily pass NULL instead and the defaults from the configuration file (or
178 * hard-wired defaults if no config file has been read) will be used.
181 enum fb_type type; /* The chosen back-end */
182 uns buffer_size; /* 0 for default size */
183 uns keep_back_buf; /* FB_STD: optimize for bi-directional access */
184 uns read_ahead; /* FB_DIRECT options */
186 struct asio_queue *asio;
190 extern struct cf_section fbpar_cf; /** Configuration section with which you can fill the `fb_params` **/
191 extern struct fb_params fbpar_def; /** The default `fb_params` **/
194 * Opens a file with file mode @mode (see the man page of open()).
195 * Use @params to select the fastbuf back-end and its parameters or
196 * pass NULL if you are fine with defaults.
198 * Dies if the file does not exist.
200 struct fastbuf *bopen_file(const char *name, int mode, struct fb_params *params);
201 struct fastbuf *bopen_file_try(const char *name, int mode, struct fb_params *params); /** Like bopen_file(), but returns NULL on failure. **/
204 * Opens a temporary file.
205 * It is placed with other temp files and it is deleted when closed.
206 * Again, use NULL for @params if you want the defaults.
208 struct fastbuf *bopen_tmp_file(struct fb_params *params);
211 * Creates a fastbuf from a file descriptor @fd and sets its filename
212 * to @name (the name is used only in error messages).
213 * When the fastbuf is closed, the fd is closed as well. You can override
214 * this behavior by calling @bconfig().
216 struct fastbuf *bopen_fd_name(int fd, struct fb_params *params, const char *name);
217 static inline struct fastbuf *bopen_fd(int fd, struct fb_params *params) /** Same as above, but with an auto-generated filename. **/
219 return bopen_fd_name(fd, params, NULL);
223 * Flushes all buffers and makes sure that they are written to the disk.
225 void bfilesync(struct fastbuf *b);
228 * === Fastbufs on regular files [[fbfile]]
230 * If you want to use the `FB_STD` back-end and not worry about setting
231 * up any parameters, there is a couple of shortcuts.
234 struct fastbuf *bopen(const char *name, uns mode, uns buflen); /** Equivalent to @bopen_file() with `FB_STD` back-end. **/
235 struct fastbuf *bopen_try(const char *name, uns mode, uns buflen); /** Equivalent to @bopen_file_try() with `FB_STD` back-end. **/
236 struct fastbuf *bopen_tmp(uns buflen); /** Equivalent to @bopen_tmp_file() with `FB_STD` back-end. **/
237 struct fastbuf *bfdopen(int fd, uns buflen); /** Equivalent to @bopen_fd() with `FB_STD` back-end. **/
238 struct fastbuf *bfdopen_shared(int fd, uns buflen); /** Like @bfdopen(), but it does not close the @fd on @bclose(). **/
241 * === Temporary files [[fbtemp]]
243 * Usually, @bopen_tmp_file() is the best way how to come to a temporary file.
244 * However, in some specific cases you can need more, so there is also a set
245 * of more general functions.
248 #define TEMP_FILE_NAME_LEN 256
251 * Generates a temporary filename and stores it to the @name_buf (of size
252 * at least * `TEMP_FILE_NAME_LEN`). If @open_flags are not NULL, flags that
253 * should be OR-ed with other flags to open() will be stored there.
255 * The location and style of temporary files is controlled by the configuration.
256 * By default, the system temp directory (`$TMPDIR` or `/tmp`) is used.
258 * If the location is a publicly writeable directory (like `/tmp`), the
259 * generated filename cannot be guaranteed to be unique, so @open_flags
260 * will include `O_EXCL` and you have to check the result of open() and
263 * This function is not specific to fastbufs, it can be used separately.
265 void temp_file_name(char *name_buf, int *open_flags);
268 * Opens a temporary file and returns its file descriptor.
269 * You specify the file @mode and @open_flags passed to open().
271 * If the @name_buf (of at last `TEMP_FILE_NAME_LEN` chars) is not NULL,
272 * the filename is also stored in it.
274 * This function is not specific to fastbufs, it can be used separately.
276 int open_tmp(char *name_buf, int open_flags, int mode);
279 * Sometimes, a file is created as temporary and then moved to a stable
280 * location. This function takes a fastbuf created by @bopen_tmp_file()
281 * or @bopen_tmp(), marks it as permanent, closes it and renames it to
284 * Please note that it assumes that the temporary file and the @name
285 * are on the same volume (otherwise, rename() fails), so you might
286 * want to configure a special location for the temporary files
289 void bfix_tmp_file(struct fastbuf *fb, const char *name);
291 /* Internal functions of some file back-ends */
293 struct fastbuf *bfdopen_internal(int fd, const char *name, uns buflen);
294 struct fastbuf *bfmmopen_internal(int fd, const char *name, uns mode);
296 #ifdef CONFIG_UCW_FB_DIRECT
297 extern uns fbdir_cheat;
299 struct fastbuf *fbdir_open_fd_internal(int fd, const char *name, struct asio_queue *io_queue, uns buffer_size, uns read_ahead, uns write_back);
302 void bclose_file_helper(struct fastbuf *f, int fd, int is_temp_file);
305 * === Fastbufs on file fragments [[fblim]]
307 * The `fblim` back-end reads from a file handle, but at most a given
308 * number of bytes. This is frequently used for reading from sockets.
310 * All such fastbufs are tied to resources automatically.
313 struct fastbuf *bopen_limited_fd(int fd, uns bufsize, uns limit); /** Create a fastbuf which reads at most @limit bytes from @fd. **/
316 * === Fastbufs on in-memory streams [[fbmem]]
318 * The `fbmem` back-end keeps the whole contents of the stream
319 * in memory (as a linked list of memory blocks, so address space
320 * fragmentation is avoided).
322 * First, you use @fbmem_create() to create the stream and the fastbuf
323 * used for writing to it. Then you can call @fbmem_clone_read() to get
324 * an arbitrary number of fastbuf for reading from the stream.
326 * All in-memory fastbufs are tied to resources automatically.
329 struct fastbuf *fbmem_create(uns blocksize); /** Create stream and return its writing fastbuf. **/
330 struct fastbuf *fbmem_clone_read(struct fastbuf *f); /** Given a writing fastbuf, create a new reading fastbuf. **/
333 * === Fastbufs on static buffers [[fbbuf]]
335 * The `fbbuf` back-end stores the stream in a given block of memory.
336 * This is useful for parsing and generating of complex data structures.
340 * Creates a read-only fastbuf that takes its data from a given buffer.
341 * The fastbuf structure is allocated by the caller and pointed to by @f.
342 * The @buffer and @size specify the location and size of the buffer.
344 * In some cases, the front-ends can take advantage of rewriting the contents
345 * of the buffer temporarily. In this case, set @can_overwrite as described
346 * in <<internal,Internals>>. If you do not care, keep @can_overwrite zero.
348 * It is not possible to close this fastbuf. This implies that no tying to
349 * resources takes place.
351 void fbbuf_init_read(struct fastbuf *f, byte *buffer, uns size, uns can_overwrite);
354 * Creates a write-only fastbuf which writes into a provided memory buffer.
355 * The fastbuf structure is allocated by the caller and pointed to by @f.
356 * An attempt to write behind the end of the buffer dies.
358 * Data are written directly into the buffer, so it is not necessary to call @bflush()
361 * It is not possible to close this fastbuf. This implies that no tying to
362 * resources takes place.
364 void fbbuf_init_write(struct fastbuf *f, byte *buffer, uns size);
366 static inline uns fbbuf_count_written(struct fastbuf *f) /** Calculates, how many bytes were already written into the buffer. **/
368 return f->bptr - f->bstop;
372 * === Fastbuf on recyclable growing buffers [[fbgrow]]
374 * The `fbgrow` back-end keeps the stream in a contiguous buffer stored in the
375 * main memory, but unlike <<fbmem,`fbmem`>>, the buffer does not have a fixed
376 * size and it is expanded to accomodate all data.
378 * At every moment, you can use `fastbuf->buffer` to gain access to the stream.
380 * All fastbufs of this type are tied to resources automatically.
385 struct fastbuf *fbgrow_create(unsigned basic_size); /** Create the growing buffer pre-allocated to @basic_size bytes. **/
386 struct fastbuf *fbgrow_create_mp(struct mempool *mp, unsigned basic_size); /** Create the growing buffer pre-allocated to @basic_size bytes. **/
387 void fbgrow_reset(struct fastbuf *b); /** Reset stream and prepare for writing. **/
388 void fbgrow_rewind(struct fastbuf *b); /** Prepare for reading (of already written data). **/
391 * === Fastbuf on memory pools [[fbpool]]
393 * The write-only `fbpool` back-end also keeps the stream in a contiguous
394 * buffer, but this time the buffer is allocated from within a memory pool.
397 struct fbpool { /** Structure for fastbufs & mempools. **/
403 * Initialize a new `fbpool`. The structure is allocated by the caller,
404 * so bclose() should not be called and no resource tying takes place.
406 void fbpool_init(struct fbpool *fb); /** Initialize a new mempool fastbuf. **/
408 * Start a new continuous block and prepare for writing (see <<mempool:mp_start()>>).
409 * Provide the memory pool you want to use for this block as @mp.
411 void fbpool_start(struct fbpool *fb, struct mempool *mp, uns init_size);
413 * Close the block and return the address of its start (see <<mempool:mp_end()>>).
414 * The length can be determined by calling <<mempool:mp_size(mp, ptr)>>.
416 void *fbpool_end(struct fbpool *fb);
419 * === Atomic files for multi-threaded programs [[fbatomic]]
421 * This fastbuf backend is designed for cases when several threads
422 * of a single program append records to a common file and while the
423 * record can mix in an arbitrary way, the bytes inside a single
424 * record must remain uninterrupted.
426 * In case of files with fixed record size, we just allocate the
427 * buffer to hold a whole number of records and take advantage
428 * of the atomicity of the write() system call.
430 * With variable-sized records, we need another solution: when
431 * writing a record, we keep the fastbuf in a locked state, which
432 * prevents buffer flushing (and if the buffer becomes full, we extend it),
433 * and we wait for an explicit commit operation which write()s the buffer
434 * if the free space in the buffer falls below the expected maximum record
437 * Please note that initialization of the clones is not thread-safe,
438 * so you have to serialize it yourself.
440 * The atomic fastbufs are tied to resources automatically.
445 struct fb_atomic_file *af;
446 byte *expected_max_bptr;
449 #define FB_ATOMIC(f) ((struct fb_atomic *)(f)->is_fastbuf)
452 * Open an atomic fastbuf.
453 * If @master is NULL, the file @name is opened. If it is non-null,
454 * a new clone of an existing atomic fastbuf is created.
456 * If the file has fixed record length, just set @record_len to it.
457 * Otherwise set @record_len to the expected maximum record length
458 * with a negative sign (you need not fit in this length, but as long
459 * as you do, the fastbuf is more efficient) and call @fbatomic_commit()
462 * You can specify @record_len, if it is known (for optimisations).
