REDIS源码中一些值得学习的技术细节01

redis.c/exitFromChild函数:

1 void exitFromChild(int retcode) {
2 #ifdef COVERAGE_TEST
3     exit(retcode);
4 #else
5     _exit(retcode);
6 #endif
7 }

分了两种情况考虑,如果是执行完RDB dump, AOF rewrite这类退出操作,为防止影响到父进程文件(父进程子进程共享文件描述符, exit函数会刷新子进程拷贝的stdio缓冲区副本),所以调用_exit()函数
但如果是在做coverage test, 为了得到正确的coverage信息,那就应该调用exit()来先执行退出处理程序,刷新stdio流缓冲区,再终止进程

关于exit()与_exit()区别,更具体的信息可参考《The Linux Programming Interface》chapter25.4 以及这个stackoverflow上的问题

redis.c/activeExpireCycle函数:

 1 void activeExpireCycle(void) {
 2     int j, iteration = 0;
 3     long long start = ustime(), timelimit;
 4 
 5     /* We can use at max REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_TIME_PERC percentage of CPU time
 6      * per iteration. Since this function gets called with a frequency of
 7      * REDIS_HZ times per second, the following is the max amount of
 8      * microseconds we can spend in this function. */
 9 
10     timelimit = 1000000*REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_TIME_PERC/REDIS_HZ/100;
11     if (timelimit <= 0) timelimit = 1;
12 
13     for (j = 0; j < server.dbnum; j++) {
14         int expired;
15         redisDb *db = server.db+j;
16 
17         /* Continue to expire if at the end of the cycle more than 25%
18          * of the keys were expired. */
19         do {
20             unsigned long num = dictSize(db->expires);
21             unsigned long slots = dictSlots(db->expires);
22             long long now = mstime();
23 
24             /* When there are less than 1% filled slots getting random
25              * keys is expensive, so stop here waiting for better times...
26              * The dictionary will be resized asap. */
27             // 过期字典里只有 %1 位置被占用,调用随机 key 的消耗比较高
28             // 等 key 多一点再来
29             if (num && slots > DICT_HT_INITIAL_SIZE &&
30                 (num*100/slots < 1)) break;
31 
32             /* The main collection cycle. Sample random keys among keys
33              * with an expire set, checking for expired ones. */
34             // 从过期字典中随机取出 key ,检查它是否过期
35             expired = 0;    // 被删除 key 计数
36             if (num > REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_PER_CRON) // 最多每次可查找的次数
37                 num = REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_PER_CRON;
38             while (num--) {
39                 dictEntry *de;
40                 long long t;
41 
42                 // 随机查找带有 TTL 的 key ,看它是否过期
43                 // 如果数据库为空,跳出
44                 if ((de = dictGetRandomKey(db->expires)) == NULL) break;
45 
46                 t = dictGetSignedIntegerVal(de);
47                 if (now > t) {
48                     // 已过期
49                     sds key = dictGetKey(de);
50                     robj *keyobj = createStringObject(key,sdslen(key));
51 
52                     propagateExpire(db,keyobj);
53                     dbDelete(db,keyobj);
54                     decrRefCount(keyobj);
55                     expired++;
56                     server.stat_expiredkeys++;
57                 }
58             }
59             /* We can't block forever here even if there are many keys to
60              * expire. So after a given amount of milliseconds return to the
61              * caller waiting for the other active expire cycle. */
62             // 每次进行 16 次循环之后,检查时间是否超过,如果超过,则退出
63             iteration++;
64             if ((iteration & 0xf) == 0 && /* check once every 16 cycles. */
65                 (ustime()-start) > timelimit) return;
66 
67         } while (expired > REDIS_EXPIRELOOKUPS_PER_CRON/4);
68     }
69 }

此函数作为cron函数,按照源码设定,需要在0.0025秒的时间内尽可能多的清除过期键,所以函数执行的效率极为关键。
这里面,如第64行所示, 对每个数据库检查过期键,在每经过16次循环后,需要检查时间是否超时,设iteration为循环计数
我的第一想法,是if(iteration%16 == 0), 但redis却使用了 if((iteration & 0xf) == 0) 的位运算方法,为什么要用这么“装逼”的写法呢?
究其原因,是因为位运算远快于取余运算,在处理高并发场景时,函数执行的时间尤为关键,而此函数作为cron函数,需要在0.0025秒的时间内尽可能多的清除过期键,
采取这种位运算方式,自然节省了大量时间用于查找和清除过期键。这也提示我们,在对运行时间要求十分苛刻的场合,要善用位运算。
