Subject: [RFC][PATCH 05/10] taskstats: Add "/proc/taskstats"
Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: Add "/proc/taskstats"
From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Add procfs interface for the TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PIDS taskstats command. A new
procfs file "/proc/taskstats" is introduced. With a ioctl the taskstats
command is defined. With a subsequent read system call the defined command
is executed and the result of the command is transferred into the read buffer.
This allows to get a complete and consistent snapshot with all tasks via two
system calls (ioctl + read), when a sufficiently large buffer is provided.
This is not possible with the existing netlink interface, because there we
have the socket buffer size as restricting factor.
GOALS OF THIS PATCH
-------------------
* Allow transfer of a complete and consistent taskstats snapshot to user space.
* Reduce CPU time for data transmission compared to netlink mechanism,
because the proc solution is much more lightweight.
* User space code is much easier to write compared to netlink mechanism.
OPEN ISSUES
-----------
Currently only the TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PIDS command is implemented. Implement
the following missing taskstasts commands:
* TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID
* TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID
Use "_IOW()" macros for ioctl definition. For example:
* #define TASKSTATS_IOCTL_PIDS _IOW('t', 1, struct taskstats_cmd_pids)
* #define TASKSTATS_IOCTL_PID _IOW('t', 2, int)
