Hello all, I'm measuring the context switch overhead for go routines and I have a question regarding the netpoller mechanism. I read online that the netpoller lives in its own thread, and responds to IO events. I thought this meant that there's a separate machine thread that keeps polling the set of FDs and requeues go routines whose IO has completed.
But looking at the source code, it looks like the netpoller is only explicitly invoked by the runtime scheduler, when it has nothing else in its local runqueue. So does a go routine which was initially waiting for IO, will not be moved to the runqueue until the next time the scheduler is run? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
