1 ====================================
2 SLOW WORK ITEM EXECUTION THREAD POOL
3 ====================================
4
5By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
6
7The slow work item execution thread pool is a pool of threads for performing
8things that take a relatively long time, such as making mkdir calls.
9Typically, when processing something, these items will spend a lot of time
10blocking a thread on I/O, thus making that thread unavailable for doing other
11work.
12
13The standard workqueue model is unsuitable for this class of work item as that
14limits the owner to a single thread or a single thread per CPU. For some
15tasks, however, more threads - or fewer - are required.
16
17There is just one pool per system. It contains no threads unless something
18wants to use it - and that something must register its interest first. When
19the pool is active, the number of threads it contains is dynamic, varying
20between a maximum and minimum setting, depending on the load.
21
22
23====================
24CLASSES OF WORK ITEM
25====================
26
27This pool support two classes of work items:
28
29 (*) Slow work items.
30
31 (*) Very slow work items.
32
33The former are expected to finish much quicker than the latter.
34
35An operation of the very slow class may do a batch combination of several
36lookups, mkdirs, and a create for instance.
37
38An operation of the ordinarily slow class may, for example, write stuff or
39expand files, provided the time taken to do so isn't too long.
40
41Operations of both types may sleep during execution, thus tying up the thread
42loaned to it.
43
44A further class of work item is available, based on the slow work item class:
45
46 (*) Delayed slow work items.
47
48These are slow work items that have a timer to defer queueing of the item for
49a while.
