OutputBuffer should be a more generic low-level library, without
dependencies to the other headers. This patch adds the field
"notify", which is used to signal the player thread. It is passed in
the constructor, and removes the need to compile with the decode.h
header.
|
|
Moved all of the player-waiting code to decoder_data(), to make
OutputBuffer more generic.
|
|
Include only headers which are really required. This speeds up
compilation and helps detect cross-layer accesses.
|
|
In lazy mode (previously the default), outputBuffer.c only wakes up
the player when it was previously empty. That caused a deadlock when
the player was waiting for buffered_before_play, since the decoder
wouldn't wake up the player when buffered_before_play was reached. In
non-lazy mode, always wake up the player when a new chunk was decoded.

We had functions names varied between
outputBufferFoo, fooOutputBuffer, and output_buffer_foo
That was too confusing for my little brain to handle.
And the global variable was somehow named 'cb' instead of
the more obvious 'ob'...

All of our main singleton data structures are implicitly shared,
so there's no reason to keep passing them around and around in
the stack and making our internal API harder to deal with.

This at least makes the argument list to a lot of our plugin
functions shorter and removes a good amount of line nois^W^Wcode,
hopefully making things easier to read and follow.

OutputBuffer.currentChunk contains redundant data: it is either -1
when there is no chunk which is currently being written, or it equals
"end". If we always keep chunk[end] in a valid state, we can remove
OutputBuffer.currentChunk.
This patch may look a bit clumsy, especially flushOutputBuffer(), but
that will be fixed later with an major OutputBuffer API overhaul.

Try to only include headers which are really needed. We should
particularly check all "headers including other headers". The
long-term goal is to have a manageable, small API for plugins
(decoders, output) without so many mpd internals cluttering the
namespace.

There is no danger that gcc will optimize access to OutputBufferChunk
properties, since decoder and player work in different chunk objects.
It is safe to remove "volatile" here.

To do proper cleanup before exiting, we have to provide a destructor
for OutputBuffer. One day, valgrind will not complain about memory
leaks!

Don't be mean with integer sizes. Although we will probably never
have more than 32k buffered chunks, we should use 32 bit integers for
addressing them. We do not save very much (some of the saved space is
eaten by alignment anyway), but we save at least one assembler
instruction for converting short to int.
This change requires some more explicit casts, because gcc was less
picky when comparing short with a full int.

currentChunk is a global variable, which renders the whole output
buffer code non-reentrant. Although this is not a real problem since
there is only one global output buffer currently, we should move it to
the OutputBuffer struct.

cross-fading should be started. Move these checks to outputBuffer.c,

The method availableOutputBuffer() calculates how many chunks are in
use. This simplifies code which needs this information, and it can
run without knowing OutputBuffer internals. The function knows how to
calculate this when begin>end; this might have been a bug in
decodeParent(), which does not.

It is way more complicated than it should be; and
locking it for thread-safety is too difficult.

I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once. So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.
* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions. So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before. The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...
* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing
* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.
* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast. ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.
* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)
* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused. They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.
* It currently segfaults on exit. I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles. At least the state file seems to work. We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.
* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.
* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:
master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread
At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file. This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.
* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

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%.

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.

audio at once, so it won't work for us. 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. The new code keeps
a separate state for each audio stream that's being converted.
