Subject: [rfc 0/2] timerfd -- implement missing parts to checkpoint and restore timerfd state
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:54:07 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140331175407.400476950@openvz.org> (raw)
Timerfd interface provides to user-space almost all data needed to checkpoint
and restore it, the only missing parts are @clockid (and while @ticks can be
read by simple read() call there is no way to write its value back). The series
exports them to userspace via /proc/pid/fdinfo/N interface and with write()
call one can setup @ticks back to a timer.
Please take a look. This is rfc to figure out if there a better way
to handle timerfds (maybe ioctls with complete timer context or somthing).
Also I'm not sure in one aspect -- if someone sets non-zero @ticks to
a timer, should I mark it as expired? Thomas, could you please give
me some advice on it?
Cyrill
