This is not globally safe yet, but all other access is directly or
indirectly related to maxadmin, which is irrelevant as far as
performance testing is concerned.
This is just a first step in a trial that will allow the addition
of any file descriptor to the general poll mechanism and hence
allow any i/o to be handled by the worker threads.
There is a structure
typedef struct mxs_poll_data
{
void (*handler)(struct mxs_poll_data *data, int wid, uint32_t events);
struct
{
int id;
} thread;
} MXS_POLL_DATA;
that any other structure (e.g. a DCB) encapsulating a file descriptor must
have as its first member (a C++ struct could basically derive from it).
That structure contains two members; 'handler' and 'thread.id'. Handler is a
pointer to a function taking a pointer to a struct mxs_poll_data, a worker thread
if and an epoll event mask as argument.
So, DCB is modified to have MXS_POLL_DATA as its first member and 'handler'
is initialized with a function that *knows* the passed MXS_POLL_DATA can
be downcast to a DCB.
process_pollq no longer exists, but is now called process_pollq_dcb. The
general stuff related to statistics etc. will be moved to poll_waitevents
itself after which the whole function is moved to dcb.c. At that point,
the handler pointer will be set in dcb_alloc().
Effectively poll.[h|c] will provide a generic mechanism for listening on
whatever descriptors and the dcb stuff will be part of dcb.[h|c].
