* \file scheduler.c
* \brief Channel scheduling system: decides which channels should send and
* receive when.
*
* This module is the global/common parts of the scheduling system. This system
* is what decides what channels get to send cells on their circuits and when.
*
* Terms:
* - "Scheduling system": the collection of scheduler*.{h,c} files and their
* aggregate behavior.
* - "Scheduler implementation": a scheduler_t. The scheduling system has one
* active scheduling implementation at a time.
*
* In this file you will find state that any scheduler implementation can have
* access to as well as the functions the rest of Tor uses to interact with the
* scheduling system.
*
* The earliest versions of Tor approximated a kind of round-robin system
* among active connections, but only approximated it. It would only consider
* one connection (roughly equal to a channel in today's terms) at a time, and
* thus could only prioritize circuits against others on the same connection.
*
* Then in response to the KIST paper[0], Tor implemented a global
* circuit scheduler. It was supposed to prioritize circuits across many
* channels, but wasn't effective. It is preserved in scheduler_vanilla.c.
*
* [0]: http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/kist-sec2014.pdf
*
* Then we actually got around to implementing KIST for real. We decided to
* modularize the scheduler so new ones can be implemented. You can find KIST
* in scheduler_kist.c.
*
* Channels have one of four scheduling states based on whether or not they
* have cells to send and whether or not they are able to send.
*
*
* -
* Not open for writes, no cells to send.
*
- Not much to do here, and the channel will have scheduler_state
* == SCHED_CHAN_IDLE
*
- Transitions from:
*
* - Open for writes/has cells by simultaneously draining all circuit
* queues and filling the output buffer.
*
* - Transitions to:
*
* - Not open for writes/has cells by arrival of cells on an attached
* circuit (this would be driven from append_cell_to_circuit_queue())
*
- Open for writes/no cells by a channel type specific path;
* driven from connection_or_flushed_some() for channel_tls_t.
*
*
*
* - Open for writes, no cells to send
*
* - Not much here either; this will be the state an idle but open
* channel can be expected to settle in. It will have scheduler_state
* == SCHED_CHAN_WAITING_FOR_CELLS
*
- Transitions from:
*
* - Not open for writes/no cells by flushing some of the output
* buffer.
*
- Open for writes/has cells by the scheduler moving cells from
* circuit queues to channel output queue, but not having enough
* to fill the output queue.
*
* - Transitions to:
*
* - Open for writes/has cells by arrival of new cells on an attached
* circuit, in append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
*
*
*
* - Not open for writes, cells to send
*
* - This is the state of a busy circuit limited by output bandwidth;
* cells have piled up in the circuit queues waiting to be relayed.
* The channel will have scheduler_state == SCHED_CHAN_WAITING_TO_WRITE.
*
- Transitions from:
*
* - Not open for writes/no cells by arrival of cells on an attached
* circuit
*
- Open for writes/has cells by filling an output buffer without
* draining all cells from attached circuits
*
* - Transitions to:
*
* - Opens for writes/has cells by draining some of the output buffer
* via the connection_or_flushed_some() path (for channel_tls_t).
*
*
*
* - Open for writes, cells to send
*
* - This connection is ready to relay some cells and waiting for
* the scheduler to choose it. The channel will have scheduler_state ==
* SCHED_CHAN_PENDING.
*
- Transitions from:
*
* - Not open for writes/has cells by the connection_or_flushed_some()
* path
*
- Open for writes/no cells by the append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
* path
*
* - Transitions to:
*
* - Not open for writes/no cells by draining all circuit queues and
* simultaneously filling the output buffer.
*
- Not open for writes/has cells by writing enough cells to fill the
* output buffer
*
- Open for writes/no cells by draining all attached circuit queues
* without also filling the output buffer
*
*
*
*
* Other event-driven parts of the code move channels between these scheduling
* states by calling scheduler functions. The scheduling system builds up a
* list of channels in the SCHED_CHAN_PENDING state that the scheduler
* implementation should then use when it runs. Scheduling implementations need
* to properly update channel states during their scheduler_t->run() function
* as that is the only opportunity for channels to move from SCHED_CHAN_PENDING
* to any other state.
*
* The remainder of this file is a small amount of state that any scheduler
* implementation should have access to, and the functions the rest of Tor uses
* to interact with the scheduling system.
