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. * *
    *
  1. * Not open for writes, no cells to send. * * *
  2. Open for writes, no cells to send * * *
  3. Not open for writes, cells to send * * *
  4. Open for writes, cells to send * *
* * 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. */ /***************************************************************************** * Scheduling system state * * State that can be accessed from any scheduler implementation (but not * outside the scheduling system) *****************************************************************************/ /** DOCDOC */ STATIC const scheduler_t *the_scheduler; /** * We keep a list of channels that are pending - i.e, have cells to write * and can accept them to send.
