... so that it can be reused on current thread for subsequent
Scheduler instantiations (e.g. block_on) without the need to
reallocate internal data structures.
This commit improves threadshare timers predictability
by better making use of current time slice.
Added a dedicate timer BTreeMap for after timers (those
that are guaranteed to fire no sooner than the expected
instant) so as to avoid previous workaround which added
half the max throttling duration. These timers can now
be checked against the reactor processing instant.
Oneshot timers only need to be polled as `Future`s when
intervals are `Stream`s. This also reduces the size for
oneshot timers and make user call `next` on intervals.
Intervals can also implement `FusedStream`, which can help
when used in features such as `select!`.
Also drop the `time` module, which was kepts for
compatibility when the `executor` was migrated from tokio
based to smol-like.
The I/O handle was dropped prior to removing it from the reactor,
which caused `Poller::delete` to fail due to an invalid file
descriptor. This used to happen silently unless the same fd was
added again, e.g. by changing states in the pipeline as follow:
Null -> Playing -> Null -> Playing.
In which case `Poller::add` failed due to an already existing file.
This commit makes sure the fd is removed from the reactor prior to
dropping the handle. In order to achieve this, a new task is spawned
on the `Context` on which the I/O was originally registered, allowing
it to access the proper `Reactor`. The I/O can then safely be dropped.
Because the I/O handle is moved to the spawned future, this solution
requires adding the `Send + 'static` bounds to the I/O handle used
within the `Async` wrapper. This appears not too restrictive for
existing implementations though. Other attempts were considered,
but they would cause deadlocks.
This new approach also solves a potential race condition where a
fd could be re-registered in a `Reactor` before it was removed.
The threadshare executor was based on a modified version of tokio
which implemented the throttling strategy in the BasicScheduler.
Upstream tokio codebase has significantly diverged from what it
was when the throttling strategy was implemented making it hard
to follow. This means that we can hardly get updates from the
upstream project and when we cherry pick fixes, we can't reflect
the state of the project on our fork's version. As a consequence,
tools such as cargo-deny can't check for RUSTSEC fixes in our fork.
The smol ecosystem makes it quite easy to implement and maintain
a custom async executor. This MR imports the smol parts that
need modifications to comply with the threadshare model and implements
a throttling executor in place of the tokio fork.
Networking tokio specific types are replaced with Async wrappers
in the spirit of [smol-rs/async-io]. Note however that the Async
wrappers needed modifications in order to use the per thread
Reactor model. This means that higher level upstream networking
crates such as [async-net] can not be used with our Async
implementation.
Based on the example benchmark with ts-udpsrc, performances seem on par
with what we achieved using the tokio fork.
