Checks if the pipe is valid and if there is any data in the pipe buffer. 2). Waits for data: *If there is no data in the pipe and the write end is still open, the current process enters a sleep state (wait_event()) until data is written. *If the write end is closed, return 0. 3). Reads data: *Wakes up the process and copies data from the pipe's memory buffer to user space. *When the buffer is full, the writing process will go to sleep, waiting for the pipe state to change to be awakened (using the wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll() mechanism). Once data is read from the buffer, the writing process can continue writing, and the reading process can continue reading new data. 4). Returns the number of bytes read upon successful read. 2. pipe_write(): 1). Checks if the pipe is valid and if there is any available space in the pipe buffer. 2). Waits for buffer space: *If the pipe buffer is full and the reading process has not read any data, pipe_write() may put the current process to sleep until there is space in the buffer. *If the read end of the pipe is closed (no process is waiting to read), an error code -EPIPE is returned, and a SIGPIPE signal may be sent to the process. 3). Writes data: *If there is enough space in the pipe buffer, pipe_write() copies data from the user space buffer to the kernel buffer of the pipe (using copy_from_user()). *If the amount of data the user requests to write is larger than the available space in the buffer, multiple writes may be required, or the process may wait for new space to be freed. 4). Wakes up waiting reading processes: *After the data is successfully written, pipe_write() wakes up any processes that may be waiting to read data (using the wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll() mechanism). 5). Returns the number of bytes successfully written. Check if there are any waiting processes in the process wait queue by introducing wq_has_sleeper() when waking up processes for pipe read/write operations. If no processes are waiting, there's no need to execute wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(), thus avoiding unnecessary wake-ups. Unnecessary wake-ups can lead to context switches, where a process is woken up to handle I/O events even when there is no immediate need. Only wake up processes when there are actually waiting processes to reduce context switches and system overhead by checking with wq_has_sleeper(). Additionally, by reducing unnecessary synchronization and wake-up operations, wq_has_sleeper() can decrease system resource waste and lock contention, improving overall system performance. For pipe read/write operations, this eliminates ineffective scheduling and enhances concurrency. It's important to note that enabling this option means invoking wq_has_sleeper() to check for sleeping processes in the wait queue for every read or write operation. While this is a lightweight operation, it still incurs some overhead. In low-load or single-task scenarios, this overhead may not yield significant benefits and could even introduce minor performance degradation. UnixBench Pipe benchmark results on Zhaoxin KX-U6780A processor: With the option disabled: Single-core: 841.8, Multi-core (8): 4621.6 With the option enabled: Single-core: 877.8, Multi-core (8): 4854.7 Single-core performance improved by 4.1%, multi-core performance improved by 4.8%.
