[Devel] [RFC v17][PATCH 30/60] c/r: infrastructure for shared objects

Oren Laadan orenl at librato.com
Wed Jul 22 04:21:43 PDT 2009


The state of shared objects is saved once. On the first encounter, the
state is dumped and the object is assigned a unique identifier (objref)
and also stored in a hash table (indexed by its physical kernel address).
>From then on the object will be found in the hash and only its identifier
is saved.

On restart the identifier is looked up in the hash table; if not found
then the state is read, the object is created, and added to the hash
table (this time indexed by its identifier). Otherwise, the object in
the hash table is used.

The hash is "one-way": objects added to it are never deleted until the
hash it discarded. The hash is discarded at the end of checkpoint or
restart, whether successful or not.

The hash keeps a reference to every object that is added to it, matching
the object's type, and maintains this reference during its lifetime.
Therefore, it is always safe to use an object that is stored in the hash.

Changelog[v17]:
  - Add ckpt_obj->flags with CKPT_OBJ_CHECKPOINTED flag
  - Add prototype of ckpt_obj_lookup
  - Complain on attempt to add NULL ptr to objhash
  - Prepare for 'leaks detection'
Changelog[v16]:
  - Introduce ckpt_obj_lookup() to find an object by its ptr
Changelog[v14]:
  - Introduce 'struct ckpt_obj_ops' to better modularize shared objs.
  - Replace long 'switch' statements with table lookups and callbacks.
  - Introduce checkpoint_obj() and restart_obj() helpers
  - Shared objects now dumped/saved right before they are referenced
  - Cleanup interface of shared objects
Changelog[v13]:
  - Use hash_long() with 'unsigned long' cast to support 64bit archs
    (Nathan Lynch <ntl at pobox.com>)
Changelog[v11]:
  - Doc: be explicit about grabbing a reference and object lifetime
Changelog[v4]:
  - Fix calculation of hash table size
Changelog[v3]:
  - Use standard hlist_... for hash table
