That can be a big // drag on RockDB's single-writer design. Of course, spinning is a // bad idea if other threads are waiting to run or if we're going to // wait for a long time. How do we decide? // // We break waiting into 3 categories: short-uncontended, // short-contended, and long. If we had an oracle, then we would always // spin for short-uncontended, always block for long, and our choice for // short-contended might depend on whether we were trying to optimize // RocksDB throughput or avoid being greedy with system resources. // // Bucketing into short or long is easy by measuring elapsed time. // Differentiating short-uncontended from short-contended is a bit // trickier, but not too bad. We could look for involuntary context // switches using getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD, ..), but it's less work // (portability code and CPU) to just look for yield calls that take // longer than we expect. sched_yield() doesn't actually result in any // context switch overhead if there are no other runnable processes // on the current core, in which case it usually takes less than // a microsecond. // // There are two primary tunables here: the threshold between "short" // and "long" waits, and the threshold at which we suspect that a yield // is slow enough to indicate we should probably block. If these // thresholds are chosen well then CPU-bound workloads that don't // have more threads than cores will experience few context switches // (voluntary or involuntary), and the total number of context switches // (voluntary and involuntary) will not be dramatically larger (maybe // 2x) than the number of voluntary context switches that occur when // --max_yield_wait_micros=0. // // There's another constant, which is the number of slow yields we will // tolerate before reversing our previous decision.
