async-wrap: add provider id and object info cb #1896

trevnorris · 2015-06-04T16:34:54Z

Re-add the wrapper class id to AsyncWrap instances so they can be
tracked directly in a heapdump.

Previously the class id was given without setting the heap dump wrapper
class info provider. Causing a segfault when a heapdump was taken. This
has been added, and the label_ set to the given provider name so each
instance can be identified.

R=@bnoordhuis

For performance testing I ran the following:

var JSStream = process.binding('js_stream').JSStream;
var ITER = 1e7;
var t = process.hrtime();

for (var i = 0; i < ITER; i++)
  new JSStream();

t = process.hrtime(t);
console.log(((t[0] * 1e9 + t[1]) / ITER).toFixed(1) + ' ns/op');

It was the most direct way I found to instantiate a new AsyncWrap instance from JS. It shows no performance degradation with this patch applied.

+  CHECK(wrapper->IsObject());
+  CHECK(!wrapper.IsEmpty());
+  Local<Object> object = wrapper.As<Object>();
+  AsyncWrap* wrap = Unwrap<AsyncWrap>(object);


Here I'd prefer to unwrap the instance as the given provider type that's passed, but am coming up short on the necessary syntax.

guess I could do a massive switch statement, but that feels wrong.

I'm feeling a little bit un-easy about the magic Class Ids.

Is there a deterministic way to generate a class id? that's pretty much how it's done everywhere else in core.

smalloc is the only other example I can find. We could maintain a central table for classIds. The danger that I am thinking about is if user-space modules need to use use classIds as well and happen to use the same value. It would be nice if one (i.e. user-space or core) could request a classId from the table. That way we can be sure that there won't be collisions.

I am only 'a little bit un-easy', and don't have objections to this PR landing as is.

Good idea. Think that's definitely a PR to explore.

I'd prefer to just run SetWrapperClassInfoProvider() from node.cc, but then I'd have to migrate all the RetainedAsyncInfo logic as well. Thoughts on a better solution?

Can't you export a function in src/async-wrap.cc and call that in src/node.cc?

Oop. Missed this comment. Sounds like a much better alternative.

bnoordhuis · 2015-06-06T11:52:45Z

I see two issues with this PR.

It reports the wrong size for instances, it's always sizeof(AsyncWrap). That's wrong in general and very wrong for variable length types like WriteWrap.
It heap-allocates a new RetainedAsyncInfo for every instance and that:

2a. Wastes memory because most instances have a static layout and size.

2b. Probably slows down heap snapshots. RetainedAsyncInfo::IsEquivalent() only considers RetainedAsyncInfo instances equivalent when they point to the same AsyncWrap instance instead of instances of the same class. The heap snapshot generator has to do more work because of that although I don't know exactly how much more.

2a and 2b probably aren't that significant so long as there aren't too many AsyncWrap instances but 1 most definitely is.

trevnorris · 2015-06-08T16:31:13Z

@bnoordhuis I should have labeled this as WIP. Knew before it was posted that the implementation was incomplete.

(1) was my biggest concern while writing this patch, and something I couldn't figure out on my own. Was hoping you'd have a suggestion about how to potentially get around it.

Wasn't aware of the issues pointed out in (2). Most of the implementation was pulled directly out of smalloc.cc, which originally came from your implementation in 6a128e0. I'll be more than happy to work on both those points if you think other issues in this PR can be worked out.

bnoordhuis · 2015-06-08T16:38:32Z

I think the easiest solution to (1) is to add a virtual size_t self_size() const = 0; pure virtual method to AsyncWrap and have descendants implement that. For most, return sizeof(*this); will suffice.

Regarding (2), it would help to have static RetainedAsyncInfo instances for statically sized classes but that can be done as a future optimization.

trevnorris · 2015-06-08T23:05:38Z

@bnoordhuis Thanks for the reviews. Finished fixing the last round.

While I've been wanting a means to do this (furthering use of AsyncWrap and all that), the patch became more invasive then I imaged it would be. If you can think of a more graceful implementation I'll redo this from scratch if necessary.

@trevnorris the test seems to time out as well.
