调用基于异步任务的WCF方法是否利用I / O完成端口或线程池线程来调用延续?

我有以下WCF合同:

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://abc/Services/AdminService")]
public interface IAdminService
{
    [OperationContract]
    string GetServiceVersion();

    // More methods here
}

GetServiceVersion是一个返回一些字符串的简单方法。它用作ping来检查服务是否可访问。

现在我想异步调用它,认为它比使用.NET线程在后台调用它更有效。

所以,我为此目的提出了以下界面:

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://abc/Services/AdminService")]
public interface IMiniAdminService
{
    [OperationContract(Action = "http://abc/Services/AdminService/IAdminService/GetServiceVersion", ReplyAction = "http://abc/Services/AdminService/IAdminService/GetServiceVersionResponse")]
    Task<string> GetServiceVersionAsync();
}

这使得可以异步调用GetServiceVersion API:

var tmp = new ChannelFactory<IAdminService>("AdminServiceClientEndpoint");
var channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<IMiniAdminService>(tmp.Endpoint.Binding, tmp.Endpoint.Address);
var miniAdminService = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
return miniAdminService.GetServiceVersionAsync().ContinueWith(t =>
{
    if (t.Exception != null)
    {
        // The Admin Service seems to be unavailable
    }
    else
    {
        // The Admin Service is available
    }
});

代码有效。

我的问题是 - 它是否利用IOCP来调用延续?

一般来说,有没有办法知道是否通过IOCP调用延续(如果需要,在调试器中调用)?

P.S。

这是我的异步WCF方法延续的堆栈跟踪:

现在,这个堆栈跟踪看起来非常类似于我从Task.Factory.StartNew调用的方法所获得的跟踪,它实际上是基于线程池的:

答案 0 :(得分:7)

首先,您需要添加TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously,以确保在异步IO操作已完成的同一线程上调用延续回调:

return miniAdminService.GetServiceVersionAsync().ContinueWith(t =>
{
    if (t.Exception != null)
    {
        // The Admin Service seems to be unavailable
    }
    else
    {
        // The Admin Service is available
    }
}, TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously);

显然,.NET中没有API来判断该线程是否是IOCP池线程。您只能判断该线程是否是线程池线程(Thread.CurrentThread.IsThreadPoolThread),对于IOCP线程也是true

在Win32中,使用CreateIoCompletionPort API创建了一个IOCP线程池,但我找不到Win32 API来检查线程是否属于这样的池。

所以,这是一个有点人为的例子,在实践中检验这个理论,使用HtppClient作为测试工具。首先,我们确保所有非IOCP线程已使用ThreadStatic填充s_mark变量-1。然后我们启动IO绑定操作并在线程上检查s_mark IO绑定操作是否已完成:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication_22465346
{
    public class Program
    {
        [ThreadStatic]
        static volatile int s_mark;

        // Main
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            const int THREADS = 50;

            // init the thread pool
            ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads(
                workerThreads: THREADS, completionPortThreads: THREADS);
            ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(
                workerThreads: THREADS, completionPortThreads: THREADS);

            // populate s_max for non-IOCP threads
            for (int i = 0; i < THREADS; i++)
            {
                ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(_ =>
                { 
                    s_mark = -1;
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                });
            }
            Thread.Sleep(2000);

            // non-IOCP test
            Task.Run(() =>
            {
                // by now all non-IOCP threads have s_mark == -1
                Console.WriteLine("Task.Run, s_mark: " + s_mark);
                Console.WriteLine("IsThreadPoolThread: " + Thread.CurrentThread.IsThreadPoolThread);
            }).Wait();

            // IOCP test
            var httpClient = new HttpClient();
            httpClient.GetStringAsync("http://example.com").ContinueWith(t =>
            {
                // all IOCP threads have s_mark == 0
                Console.WriteLine("GetStringAsync.ContinueWith, s_mark: " + s_mark);
                Console.WriteLine("IsThreadPoolThread: " + Thread.CurrentThread.IsThreadPoolThread);
            }, TaskContinuationOptions.ExecuteSynchronously).Wait();

            Console.WriteLine("Enter to exit...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

输出:

Task.Run, s_mark: -1
IsThreadPoolThread: True
GetStringAsync.ContinueWith, s_mark: 0
IsThreadPoolThread: True
Enter to exit...

我认为这可能足以证实在IOCP线程上发生IO绑定延续 的理论。
