I think this question was asked before.  Was the previous meeting
recorded and made available somewhere on the web?

And for those of us for which attending is slightly impractical
(about a 1300 mile commute in my case), will this meeting be recorded?

We didn't leave until 11 pm! I showed the lguest demo and the way that a single tcp connection had of locking up. David Presotto spent a good hour helping us debug it and we're pretty sure we know what's up. I continued my winning streak of "demos that break" -- well, consistency is good I guess. It's an interesting problem and the debugging of it was fun, we even got to use the google whiteboard at one point. David said he enjoyed debugging his own TCP stack for a change. The lguest fix should be up soon for you all to try. I'll announce it here. Brucee talked about his 9ee stuff, which will allow you to run plan 9 apps native under different OSes. He'll have to explain to us how this differs from p9p, because I don't think I totally got it all. It essentially (I hope I get this right) wraps plan 9 libc calls around native calls, and no other code changes. Did I get that close, Brucee? It currently works on WIndows, although namespace support is not totally there. Thanks to David Hendriks and Google for hosting this. Both meetings have been a real treat for me and I hope the others who attended. I am thinking for the next meeting we could have an Omero theme. People could bring their Omero setups and we could compare notes. It would be interesting to see how it all works. Maybe nemo could fly over from Spain :-) On a more controversial note, we had a good discussion on scaling limitations of the current system call interface and how a new type of asynchrony might be introduced. One idea was that one could build on the current rendezvous interface so that it could accept a closure (or context). Then the user process would fire up a bunch of threads, most of which would hang out in the rendezvous. For non-blocking I/O, a process would kick off the system call, but the system call would return immediately after queueing up the I/O and the actual return would wake up one of the threads waiting in the rendezvous. This was just one idea, but it's interesting. The bigger question, for me, remains: how would we extend the system call interface to handle, e.g., 100,000 connections to "something(s)" without losing the essence of Plan 9? This question is not academic -- the BG/P machines are planned to have 256K CPUs, and we plan to run on them. We could just claim that firing up an ioproc for each file descriptor would work, but I've never been comfortable with that model -- for one thing, I can tell you from experience that seeing even 20,000 procs in a ps is fairly confusing. We could punt and just say "9p everything", but as David pointed out, that leaves us with a fairly chaotic universe -- we lose a lot of the ordering and such that the kernel gives us now via the basic open/read/write/close interface. Linux handles asynchrony now with select/poll/epoll/etc. etc. . And, like it or not, it has demonstrated an ability to handle it well -- at least one some worlds. Plan 9 as currently designed is fine for the 10-100 machine case; what would we do for the 10,000-1,000,000 case? I'm tossing this little grenade out in the hopes of provoking a discussion. References to past work would be interesting to hear. thanks ron From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] Bay Area Plan 9 Users Group Meeting (August '07) From: Charles Forsyth Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 18:22:35 +0100 In-Reply-To: <13426df10708081013t7e4d0072g21f154bca5c94336@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Topicbox-Message-UUID: a015e70a-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 asynchrony => a process. this Erlang and (to a lesser degree, in terms of its scaling) Inferno get right.

A student, advised by Russ, wrote a paper on async IO on Plan 9 without kernel modifications. The basic idea, as I understand it, is to use the inherent asynchrony of 9P, and access files via the kernel's exportfs interface. The concept could easily be wrapped into a simple userspace aio lib. I prefer the idea to modifying the kernel, but I'm not sure that the overhead would be acceptable to all applications. -- Kris Maglione The severity of an itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Erlang really is quite good at this.  Does it just boil down to the way in which processes are implemented?

That's a great question. I believe it is a matter of luck. But if you get the interrupt, and you put the new pointers in the dma struct "quickly", and it has not wrapped around, well, you're in luck! ron p.s.

I have three different designs for the 9p transport on lguest. I think I shall do them all just so I can add a "choose your own adventure" style to Rusty's documentation. a) follow the console driver style and just shuffle to named/pipe socket to 9p server b) follow the libos style and just use a shared memory buffer posted in dev->mem that is mmaped from shared memory with the server c) use dev->mem to store fcall slots and use the dma buffers to shuffle payload -- this should be the optimal zero-copy case (a) can theoretically target any 9p server, (b) will work against inferno-tx and (c) will work against a modified spfs and will take some pretty heavy modifications to v9fs (don't need to marshall the fcall, just stick it in a struct in shared memory). The idea is to compare the performance of the three approaches and see just how much cost (performance and complexity) is involved in each. Should have (a) done in a matter of hours. -eric From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <13426df10708081420k15b295dfh1bf2357098c3b4d@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 14:20:40 -0700 From: "ron minnich" To: "Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs" <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Subject: Re: [9fans] Bay Area Plan 9 Users Group Meeting (August '07) In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <13426df10708081341p63bd6637qdafd5d1766471108@mail.gmail.com> <13426df10708081408x48559821m1be70cacf3cc62bb@mail.gmail.com> Topicbox-Message-UUID: a0b2bcc4-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 On 8/8/07, Eric Van Hensbergen wrote: > That really doesn't seem right, I looked more at the block and the > console code, but it seems like there should be code which "claims" > posted DMA buffers and then the guest should have to re-post them. That's how I would have designed it, and how I expected it to work, but it doesn't work that way. Once you do a bind for a dma descriptor, that's it -- and the enet code will happily overwrite that buffer. You have to move fast and have a few of them.
