SCM_RIGHTS API quirks

As tested on Linux:

  • An SCM_RIGHTS ancillary message is "attached" to the range of data bytes sent in the same sendmsg() call.
  • However, as always, recvmsg() calls on the receiving end don't necessarily map 1:1 to sendmsg() calls. Messages can be coalesced or split.
  • The recvmsg() call that receives the first byte of the ancillary message's byte range also receives the ancillary message itself.
  • To prevent multiple ancillary messages being delivered

Inflatable SeqLock
// InflatableSeqLock
// Copyright(C) 2016 Oracle and/or its affiliates
// Dave Dice : https://blogs.oracle.com/dave
//
// Remarks:
// * Implements composite writer mutex and seqlock in a single word-sized lock.
// Allows optimistic reading and pessimistic writing.
// Readers don't write to shared synchronization metadata, which helps avoid
// coherence traffic. Readers must tolerate observing inconsistent state, however.
// * Writer mutex is based on LIFO-CR lock from http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.06035.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?
