Hello,
What is the best way to enumerate the sleeping threads via
sleepqueue(9)? Furthermore, when enumerating the threads that are on
the run queue, what locks are needed, if any?
sleepqueue hash bucket is private data structure in subr_sleepqueue.c, I
think you
can not access it outside of the file.
One way to enumerate the sleeping threads is iterating all threads in
the system,
and check their states. proc.h contains two macros:
FOREACH_PROC_IN_SYSTEM
FOREACH_THREAD_IN_PROC
To access thread state, you should use thread lock, call thread_lock()
and thread_unlock(). thread lock is not fixed, it might be sleep-queue's
spinlock
or per-cpu runqueue lock, there even is a blocked spin-lock for
intermediate state
change.
Thank you.
