/* Background I/O service for Redis. * * This file implements operations that we need to perform in the background. * Currently there is only a single operation, that is a background close(2) * system call. This is needed as when the process is the last owner of a * reference to a file closing it means unlinking it, and the deletion of the * file is slow, blocking the server. * * In the future we'll either continue implementing new things we need or * we'll switch to libeio. However there are probably long term uses for this * file as we may want to put here Redis specific background tasks (for instance * it is not impossible that we'll need a non blocking FLUSHDB/FLUSHALL * implementation). * * DESIGN * ------ * * The design is trivial, we have a structure representing a job to perform * and a different thread and job queue for every job type. * Every thread wait for new jobs in its queue, and process every job * sequentially. * * Jobs of the same type are guaranteed to be processed from the least * recently inserted to the most recently inserted (older jobs processed * first). * * Currently there is no way for the creator of the job to be notified about * the completion of the operation, this will only be added when/if needed. * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * Copyright (c) 2009-2012, Salvatore Sanfilippo * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: * * * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, * this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. * * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright * notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the * documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. * * Neither the name of Redis nor the names of its contributors may be used * to endorse or promote products derived from this software without * specific prior written permission. * * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" * AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE * IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE * ARE DISCLAIMED.
