Class EpollIoHandler

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.epoll.EpollIoHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

IoHandler

public class EpollIoHandler
extends Object
implements IoHandler

IoHandler which uses epoll under the covers. Only works on Linux!

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	closeFileDescriptors()	This method is intended for use by process checkpoint/restore integration, such as OpenJDK CRaC.
void	destroy()	Destroy the IoHandler and free all its resources.
boolean	isCompatible(Class<? extends IoHandle> handleType)	Returns true if the given type is compatible with this IoHandler and so can be registered, false otherwise.
static IoHandlerFactory	newFactory()	Returns a new IoHandlerFactory that creates EpollIoHandler instances.
static IoHandlerFactory	newFactory(int maxEvents, SelectStrategyFactory selectStrategyFactory)	Returns a new IoHandlerFactory that creates EpollIoHandler instances.
void	openFileDescriptors()	This method is intended for use by a process checkpoint/restore integration, such as OpenJDK CRaC.
void	prepareToDestroy()	Prepare to destroy this IoHandler.
IoRegistration	register(IoHandle handle)	Register a IoHandle for IO.
int	run(IoHandlerContext context)	Run the IO handled by this IoHandler.
void	wakeup()	Wakeup the IoHandler, which means if any operation blocks it should be unblocked and return as soon as possible.

Method Details

newFactory

public static IoHandlerFactory newFactory()

Returns a new IoHandlerFactory that creates EpollIoHandler instances.

newFactory

public static IoHandlerFactory newFactory(int maxEvents,
 SelectStrategyFactory selectStrategyFactory)

Returns a new IoHandlerFactory that creates EpollIoHandler instances.

openFileDescriptors

@UnstableApi
public void openFileDescriptors()

This method is intended for use by a process checkpoint/restore integration, such as OpenJDK CRaC.

wakeup

public void wakeup()

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Wakeup the IoHandler, which means if any operation blocks it should be unblocked and return as soon as possible.

Specified by:

wakeup in interface IoHandler

prepareToDestroy

public void prepareToDestroy()

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Prepare to destroy this IoHandler. This method will be called before IoHandler.destroy() and may be called multiple times.

Specified by:

prepareToDestroy in interface IoHandler

destroy

public void destroy()

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Destroy the IoHandler and free all its resources. Once destroyed using the IoHandler will cause undefined behaviour.

Specified by:

destroy in interface IoHandler

register

public IoRegistration register(IoHandle handle)
                        throws Exception

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Register a IoHandle for IO.

Specified by:

register in interface IoHandler

Parameters:

handle - the IoHandle to register.

Throws:

Exception - thrown if an error happens during registration.

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(Class<? extends IoHandle> handleType)

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Returns true if the given type is compatible with this IoHandler and so can be registered, false otherwise.

Specified by:

isCompatible in interface IoHandler

Parameters:

handleType - the type of the IoHandle.

Returns:

if compatible of not.

run

public int run(IoHandlerContext context)

Description copied from interface: IoHandler

Run the IO handled by this IoHandler. The IoHandlerContext should be used to ensure we not execute too long and so block the processing of other task that are scheduled on the ThreadAwareExecutor. This is done by taking IoHandlerContext.delayNanos(long) or IoHandlerContext.deadlineNanos() into account.

Specified by:

run in interface IoHandler

Parameters:

context - the IoHandlerContext.

Returns:

the number of IoHandle for which I/O was handled.

closeFileDescriptors

@UnstableApi
public void closeFileDescriptors()

This method is intended for use by process checkpoint/restore integration, such as OpenJDK CRaC. It's up to the caller to ensure that there is no concurrent use of the FDs while these are closed, e.g. by blocking the executor.
