Here are some use cases received from our Databases(Oracle) group.
They envision considerable benefits with use of user interrupts in
following areas.
1) User mode scheduler
Oracle DB implements user threads(green threads), with cooperative
task switching. User interrupts would enable preempting tasks that are
long running. SENDUIPI would be useful in preempting tasks.
2) Get attention of threads/processes dedicated to cores.
3) Latency sensitive execution
To perform a task in the interrupt context of running threads.
4) User mode I/O completion
Some threads can be waiting on memory using ‘umwait' for RDMA to complete.
Consequently dispatch completion of RDMA event to another thread using
user interrupts for processing.
On those lines, DB will implement services like following using user
interrupts.
1) General RPC, for example
a. Service requests to a small number of worker process/threads.
To request processing data in memory locally on a numa node
by service threads running on that node.
b. Abort current operation to yield or release resources to a
higher priority threads.
2) User mode scheduling - force run the holder of resources.
3) User mode scheduling - log writer is a critical piece of execution for
database updates. So we could post to a thread asking it to run log writer
thread(user thread) immediately. This is useful in user mode scheduling
with use of PMEM, where the log writer no longer has to perform I/O. The
log is written sequentially in PMEM.
4) Debugging:
User interrupt SENDUIPI would be used to force a running DB process to
dump out debug information.

The DB use case requires a thread blocked in the kernel in a system call
to be interrupted immediately by the user interrupt. Need same behavior
as signals with respect to interrupting system calls.
Aim is to use user interrupts as one mechanism, for fast IPC and to signal
target thread blocked in the kernel in a system call.
i.e replace use of signals with user interrupts.

Following enhancements with respect to sharing UITT table will be beneficial.
Oracle DB creates large number of multithreaded processes. A thread in a
process may need to communicate(using user interrupts) with another
thread in any other process. Current proposal of receiver sending an FD
per vector to each of the sender will be an overhead. Also every sender
process/thread allocating a sender table for storing same receiver UPIDs
will be duplication resulting in wasted memory.
In addition to the current FD based registration approach, having a way
for a group of DB processes to share a sender(UITT) table and allowing
each of the receiver threads to directly register itself in the shared UITT
table, will be efficient. For this the receiver need not create an fd. The
receiver’s UPID index in UITT got from the registration will be shared
with all senders via shared memory(IPC).
DB maintains a process table of all the DB processes/threads in the shared
memory. The receiver can register itself in the shared UITT table and store
its UPID index in the process table. Sender will lookup target process from
the process table to get the UITT index and send the user interrupt.
