epoll_wait()中的maxevents参数和events数组的大小 [英] maxevents parameter in epoll_wait() and the events array size

问题描述

在epoll用法中，通常类似于以下内容:

struct epoll_event ev,events[20];
epfd=epoll_create(256);
。。。
nfds=epoll_wait(epfd,events,40,500);

有些文章说epoll_wait中的maxevents参数(即epoll_wait(epfd,events,40,500);中的40)不应超过epoll_create(即256)中的size参数.

我认为maxevents参数不应超过ev, events[20]中的20，因为事件只能注册到20个事件元素；否则，如果有40个处于活动状态的套接字，那会发生什么?

顺便说一句，如果我注册了20个以上的套接字，并且有20个以上的活动事件(套接字)，但是事件数组events[20]只有20个事件，会发生什么?

解决方案

At any single call of epoll_wait you'll at most receive as many events as you have room for, but of course events don't get lost if there are more than that queued up -- you'll simply get them at a later call. Since you'll be calling epoll_wait in a loop anyway, that shouldn't be an issue at all.

The one interesting consideration I can think of is when you have multiple threads read from the same epoll-fd concurrently. In that case the size of your event array determines how many events get handled by a single thread (i.e. a smaller number might give you greater parallelism).
