描述

A process’s CPU affinity mask determines the set of CPUs on which it is eligible to run. On a multiprocessor system, setting the CPU affinity mask can be used to obtain performance benefits. For example, by dedicating one CPU to a particular process (i.e., setting the affinity mask of that process to specify a single CPU, and setting the affinity mask of all other processes to exclude that CPU), it is possible to ensure maximum execution speed for that process. Restricting a process to run on a single CPU also prevents the performance cost caused by the cache invalidation that occurs when a process ceases to execute on one CPU and then recommences execution on a different CPU.

A CPU affinity mask is represented by the cpu_set_t structure, a "CPU set", pointed to by mask. Four macros are provided to manipulate CPU sets. CPU_ZERO() clears a set.CPU_SET() and CPU_CLR() respectively add and remove a given CPU from a set.CPU_ISSET() tests to see if a CPU is part of the set; this is useful aftersched_getaffinity() returns. The first available CPU on the system corresponds to a cpuvalue of 0, the next CPU corresponds to a cpu value of 1, and so on. The constantCPU_SETSIZE (1024) specifies a value one greater than the maximum CPU number that can be stored in a CPU set.

sched_setaffinity() sets the CPU affinity mask of the process whose ID is pid to the value specified by mask. If pid is zero, then the calling process is used. The argumentcpusetsize is the length (in bytes) of the data pointed to by mask. Normally this argument would be specified as sizeof(cpu_set_t).

If the process specified by pid is not currently running on one of the CPUs specified inmask, then that process is migrated to one of the CPUs specified in mask.

sched_getaffinity() writes the affinity mask of the process whose ID is pid into thecpu_set_t structure pointed to by mask. The cpusetsize argument specifies the size (in bytes) of mask. If pid is zero, then the mask of the calling process is returned.

返回值

On success, sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() return 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

錯(cuò)誤

標(biāo)簽	描述
EFAULT	A supplied memory address was invalid.
EINVAL	The affinity bitmask mask contains no processors that are physically on the system, or cpusetsize is smaller than the size of the affinity mask used by the kernel.
EPERM	The calling process does not have appropriate privileges. The process calling sched_setaffinity() needs an effective user ID equal to the user ID or effective user ID of the process identified by pid, or it must possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability.
ESRCH	The process whose ID is pid could not be found.

注意

The affinity mask is actually a per-thread attribute that can be adjusted independently for each of the threads in a thread group. The value returned from a call to gettid(2) can be passed in the argument pid.

A child created via fork(2) inherits its parent’s CPU affinity mask. The affinity mask is preserved across an execve(2).

This manual page describes the glibc interface for the CPU affinity calls. The actual system call interface is slightly different, with the mask being typed as unsigned long *, reflecting that the fact that the underlying implementation of CPU sets is a simple bitmask. On success, the raw sched_getaffinity() system call returns the size (in bytes) of the cpumask_t data type that is used internally by the kernel to represent the CPU set bitmask.

HISTORY

The CPU affinity system calls were introduced in Linux kernel 2.5.8. The library interfaces were introduced in glibc 2.3. Initially, the glibc interfaces included a cpusetsize argument. In glibc 2.3.2, the cpusetsize argument was removed, but this argument was restored in glibc 2.3.4.
