Description krishnan parthasarathi 2015-06-27 06:06:17 UTC

Description of problem:
New system calls have been introduced in Linux/NetBSD that provide improved performance/interface. e.g accept4(2) in GNU/Linux makes it possible to set O_NONBLOCK flag on the socket fd saving an additional fcntl(2) for the same. paccept(2) provides the same functionality for NetBSD. This bug tracks the patches that make use of these newer interfaces without breaking compatibility with systems running older kernels.

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions

Comment 7 Amar Tumballi 2018-10-08 10:03:56 UTC

Not sure if it makes sense, but good to take this to closure! Marking it back to 'assigned' as the patch is abandon'd.

Comment 8 Milind Changire 2018-10-08 17:00:16 UTC

The accept path is definitely not a performance problem without this fix. So there's not much incentive to get this done.

Gluster client connections are expected to be few and long lived.

I'd want Raghavendra to comment on this as well.

Comment 9 Raghavendra G 2018-10-09 02:04:06 UTC

Yes. This is not much of a concern ATM. But if the patch is available and can be closed off quickly, makes sense to merge it. @Milind, can you please review the patch once?

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/11241 committed in master by "Raghavendra G" <rgowdapp> with a commit message- socket: use accept4/paccept for nonblocking socket

This reduces the no. of syscalls on Linux systems from 2, accept(2) and
fcntl(2) for setting O_NONBLOCK, to a single accept4(2).  On NetBSD, we
have paccept(2) that does the same, if we leave signal masking aside.

Added sys_accept which accepts an extra flags argument than accept(2).
This would opportunistically use accept4/paccept as available.  It would
fallback to accept(2) and fcntl(2) otherwise.

While at this, the patch sets FD_CLOEXEC flag on the accepted socket fd.
