* notify the decoder instead of polling 100hzMax Kellermann2008-03-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the decoder process is faster than the player process, all decodedd buffers are full at some point in time. The decoder has to wait for buffers to become free (finished playing). It used to do this by polling the buffer status 100 times a second. This generates a lot of unnecessary CPU wakeups. This patch adds a way for the player process to notify the decoder process that it may continue its work. We could use pthread_cond for that, unfortunately inter-process mutexes/conds are not supported by some kernels (Linux), so we cannot use this light-weight method until mpd moves to using threads instead of processes. The other method would be semaphores, which historically are global resources with a unique name; this historic API is cumbersome, and I wanted to avoid it. I came up with a quite naive solution for now: I create an anonymous pipe with pipe(), and the decoder process reads on that pipe. Until the player process sends data on it as a signal, the decoder process blocks. This can be optimized in a number of ways: - if the decoder process is still working (instead of waiting for buffers), we could save the write() system call, since there is nobody waiting for the notification. [ew: I tried this using a counter in shared memory, didn't help] - the pipe buffer will be full at some point, when the decoder thread is too slow. For this reason, the writer side of the pipe is non-blocking, and mpd can ignore the resulting EWOULDBLOCK. - since we have shared memory, we could check whether somebody is actually waiting without a context switch, and we could just not write the notification byte. [ew: tried same method/result as first point above] - if there is already a notification in the pipe, we could also not write another one. [ew: tried same method/result as first/third points above] - the decoder will only consume 64 bytes at a time. If the pipe buffer is full, this will result in a lot of read() invocations. This does not hurt badly, but on a heavily loaded system, this might add a little bit more load. The preceding optimizations however are able eliminate the this. - finally, we should use another method for inter process notifications - maybe kill() or just make mpd use threads, finally. In spite of all these possibilities to optimize this code further, this pipe notification trick is faster than the 100 Hz poll. On my machine, it reduced the number of wakeups to less than 30%. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@7215 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

* Cleanup #includes of standard system headers and put them in one placeEric Wong2008-01-031-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon. Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too. os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers considered to be the "core" of MPD. Headers for optional features will be left to individual source files. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@7130 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

* removing debug messages from signal handlersJ. Alexander Treuman2007-08-271-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | As unfortunate as it is to remove such useful debugging messages, it's necessary to fix a potential deadlock with signal handling. A bunch of functions the debug functions call aren't safe to call from a signal handler. There are some alternate solutions, but they're neither pretty nor simple. So just remove them entirely for now. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@6828 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f
* send SIGSTOP to player and decoder processes on pause, tooEric Wong2007-08-271-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as with the stop command, this will cause the player and decoder to suspend and not wake up hundreds of times a second to poll a variable for wakeup. This will reduce power consumption on some CPUs while mpd is paused and not playing. tests: pause && unpause => OK pause && stop && play => OK pause && exit && restart w/statefile && unpause => OK pause && block sound device && \ unpause => failed to open sound device \ => still paused and suspended => unblock sound device && unpause => OK (playing) In all cases, the player process releases the audio device when paused before going into the suspended state. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@6822 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f
* decode: close audio device after initial open if pausedJ. Alexander Treuman2007-08-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | Currently, if we start decoding while the pause flag is set, we open the audio device and leave it opened, blocking other apps from using it. The obvious thing to do is to not open the audio device if the pause flag is set, but the open call also sets the audio format. Therefore I'm leaving the open call in, and just closing it immediately afterwards if the pause flag is set. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@6745 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

* Replace strdup and {c,re,m}alloc with x* variants to check for OOM errorsEric Wong2006-08-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm checking for zero-size allocations and assert()-ing them, so we can more easily get backtraces and debug problems, but we'll also allow -DNDEBUG people to live on the edge if they wish. We do not rely on errno when checking for OOM errors because some implementations of malloc do not set it, and malloc is commonly overridden by userspace wrappers. I've spent some time looking through the source and didn't find any obvious places where we would explicitly allocate 0 bytes, so we shouldn't trip any of those assertions. We also avoid allocating zero bytes because C libraries don't handle this consistently (some return NULL, some not); and it's dangerous either way. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@4690 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | utf8ToFsCharset() and fsCharsetToUtf8() got very broken in r4311, and resulted in several commits to fix those leaks. Unfortunately, not all of those newly introduced leaks were fixed, nor was the result pretty. Also, fixed a double-free in lsPlaylists(). This is very hard to trigger (and therefore exploit) at the moment because we check printDirectoryInfo() beforehand. Intended behavior for utf8ToFsCharset() and fsCharsetToUtf8() as God^H^H^Hshank originally intended is now documented in path.h to prevent future errors like this. mpd could still use some good valgrind testing before the 0.12.0 release. <plug>In addition to reducing heap fragmentation, malloc reductions from mpd-ke greatly reduces the chance of leaks from happening due to programming errors.</plug> git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@4639 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strncpy isn't really safe because it doesn't guarantee null termination, and we have had to work around it in several places. strlcpy (from OpenBSD) isn't great, either because it often leaves errors going unchecked (by truncating strings). So we'll add the pathcpy_trunc() function with is basically strlcpy with a hardcoded MAXPATHLEN as the limit, and we'll acknowledge truncation since we only work on paths and MAXPATHLEN should be set correctly by the system headers[1]. file-specific notes: inputStream_http: eyeballing the changes here, it seems to look alright but I haven't actually tested it myself. ls: don't even bother printing a file if the filename is too long (and when is it ever?) since we won't be able to read it anyways. metadataChunk: it's only metadata, and it's only for showin the user, so truncating it here souldn't be a big issue. memset to zero in init is unecessary, so lets not waste cycles [1] - If the system headers are screwed up, then we're majorly screwed regardless of what we do :x git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@4491 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f
