void EventProviderLinux::waitForEvents (EventLoopTime wait_time)
{
    AIPSTACK_ASSERT(m_cur_epoll_event == m_num_epoll_events);

    namespace chrono = std::chrono;
    using Period = EventLoopTime::period;
    using Rep = EventLoopTime::rep;
    using SecType = decltype(itimerspec().it_value.tv_sec);
    using NsecType = decltype(itimerspec().it_value.tv_nsec);
    using NsecDuration = chrono::duration<NsecType, std::nano>;

    static_assert(Period::num == 1);
    static_assert(Period::den <= std::nano::den);
    static_assert(std::is_signed_v<Rep>);
    static_assert(std::is_signed_v<SecType>);
    static_assert(TypeMax<Rep> / Period::den <= TypeMax<SecType>);
    static_assert(TypeMin<Rep> / Period::den >= TypeMin<SecType> + 1);

    if (wait_time != m_timerfd_time || m_force_timerfd_update) {
        m_force_timerfd_update = true;

        EventLoopTime::duration time_dur = wait_time.time_since_epoch();

        SecType sec = time_dur.count() / Period::den;
        Rep subsec = time_dur.count() % Period::den;
        if (subsec < 0) {
            sec--;
            subsec += Period::den;
        }

        struct itimerspec itspec = {};
        itspec.it_value.tv_sec = sec;
        itspec.it_value.tv_nsec =
            chrono::duration_cast<NsecDuration>(EventLoopTime::duration(subsec)).count();

        // Prevent accidentally disarming the timerfd.
        if (itspec.it_value.tv_sec == 0 && itspec.it_value.tv_nsec == 0) {
            itspec.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
        }

        if (::timerfd_settime(*m_timer_fd, TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME, &itspec, nullptr) < 0) {
            throw std::runtime_error(formatString(
                "EventProviderLinux: timerfd_settime failed, err=%d", errno));
        }

        m_timerfd_time = wait_time;
        m_force_timerfd_update = false;
    }

    int wait_res;
    while (true) {
        wait_res = ::epoll_wait(*m_epoll_fd, m_epoll_events, MaxEpollEvents, -1);
        if (AIPSTACK_LIKELY(wait_res >= 0)) {
            break;
        }

        int err = errno;
        if (err != EINTR) {
            throw std::runtime_error(formatString(
                "EventProviderLinux: epoll_wait failed, err=%d", err));
        }
    }

    AIPSTACK_ASSERT(wait_res <= MaxEpollEvents);

    m_cur_epoll_event = 0;
    m_num_epoll_events = wait_res;
}

应该阻塞该功能,直到m_epoll_fd上发生事件为止。您会看到有一个创建的计时器m_timer_fd,但从未指定处理程序。在没有处理程序的情况下启动计时器有什么意义?

此外,我在其他任何地方都看不到此计时器的任何用法。由于它是在本地创建的,因此在其类中没有使用。它必须具有本地用途。

来自timerfd_create man page(重点是我):

  

这些系统调用创建并在提供计时器的计时器上进行操作          通过文件描述符的过期通知。他们提供了          使用setitimer(2)或timer_create(2)的替代方法,          优点是文件描述符可以由select(2)监视,          poll(2)和epoll(7)

从原始源代码开始:

control_epoll(EPOLL_CTL_ADD, *m_timer_fd, EPOLLIN, &m_timer_fd);

从上面我们可以看到计时器事件已设置为通过epoll进行监视。
