* notify the decoder instead of polling 100hzMax Kellermann2008-03-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* moved code to initOutputBuffer()Max Kellermann2008-03-261-0/+17
| | | | | | | This patch moves code which initializes the OutputBuffer struct to outputBuffer.c. Although this is generally a good idea, it prepares the following patch. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@7206 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f
* use size_tMax Kellermann2008-03-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | When dealing with in-memory lengths, the standard type "size_t" should be used. Missing one can be quite dangerous, because an attacker could provoke an integer under-/overflow, which may provide an attack vector. git-svn-id: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk@7205 09075e82-0dd4-0310-85a5-a0d7c8717e4f

* Cleanup #includes of standard system headers and put them in one placeEric Wong2008-01-031-3/+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
* Make pcm_convertAudioFormat return the buffer size. This is necessaryJ. Alexander Treuman2007-05-261-3/+3
| | | | | | | | because lsr may return less than the input buffer size, and the rest of the audio code needs to know the new size.

The old full API code was still heavily broken, as each call to pcm_convertSampleRate() used the same state, even if it was processing two streams of audio.

* Don't initialize globals to zero (or NULL)Eric Wong2007-01-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | Some compilers and linkers aren't smart enough to optimize this, as global variables are implictly initialized to zero.

* Replace strdup and {c,re,m}alloc with x* variants to check for OOM errorsEric Wong2006-08-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
