58 * This thread maintains an internal state associating clients and triggers.
59 *
60 * In order to speed-up and simplify queries, hash tables providing the
61 * following associations are maintained:
62 *
63 * - client_socket_ht: associate a client's socket (fd) to its "struct client"
64 * This hash table owns the "struct client" which must thus be
65 * disposed-of on removal from the hash table.
66 *
67 * - channel_triggers_ht:
68 * associates a channel key to a list of
69 * struct lttng_trigger_list_nodes. The triggers in this list are
70 * those that have conditions that apply to this channel.
71 * A channel entry is only created when a channel is added; the
72 * list of triggers applying to such a channel is built at that
73 * moment.
74 * This hash table owns the list, but not the triggers themselves.
75 *
76 * - channel_state_ht:
77 * associates a pair (channel key, channel domain) to its last
78 * sampled state received from the consumer daemon
79 * (struct channel_state).
80 * This previous sample is kept to implement edge-triggered
81 * conditions as we need to detect the state transitions.
82 * This hash table owns the channel state.
83 *
84 * - notification_trigger_clients_ht:
85 * associates notification-emitting triggers to clients
86 * (struct notification_client_list) subscribed to those
87 * conditions.
88 * The condition's hash and match functions are used directly since
89 * all triggers in this hash table have the "notify" action.
90 * This hash table holds no ownership.
91 *
92 * - channels_ht:
93 * associates a channel_key to a struct channel_info. The hash table
94 * holds the ownership of the struct channel_info.
95 *
96 * - sessions_ht:
97 * associates a session_name (hash) to a struct session_info. The
98 * hash table holds no ownership of the struct session_info;
99 * the session_info structure is owned by the session's various
100 * channels through their struct channel_info (ref-counting is used).
101 *
102 * - triggers_ht:
103 * associates a condition to a struct lttng_trigger_ht_element.
104 * The hash table holds the ownership of the
105 * lttng_trigger_ht_elements along with the triggers themselves.
106 *
107 * The thread reacts to the following internal events:
108 * 1) creation of a tracing channel,
109 * 2) destruction of a tracing channel,
110 * 3) registration of a trigger,
111 * 4) unregistration of a trigger,
112 * 5) reception of a channel monitor sample from the consumer daemon.
113 *
114 * Events specific to notification-emitting triggers:
115 * 6) connection of a notification client,
116 * 7) disconnection of a notification client,
117 * 8) subscription of a client to a conditions' notifications,
118 * 9) unsubscription of a client from a conditions' notifications,
119 *
120 *
121 * 1) Creation of a tracing channel
122 * - notification_trigger_clients_ht is traversed to identify
123 * triggers which apply to this new channel,
124 * - triggers identified are added to the channel_triggers_ht.
125 * - add channel to channels_ht
126 *
127 * 2) Destruction of a tracing channel
128 * - remove entry from channel_triggers_ht, releasing the list wrapper and
129 * elements,
130 * - remove entry from the channel_state_ht.
131 * - remove channel from channels_ht
132 *
133 * 3) Registration of a trigger
134 * - if the trigger's action is of type "notify",
135 * - traverse the list of conditions of every client to build a list of
136 * clients which have to be notified when this trigger's condition is met,
137 * - add list of clients (even if it is empty) to the
138 * notification_trigger_clients_ht,
139 * - add trigger to channel_triggers_ht (if applicable),
140 * - add trigger to triggers_ht
141 * - evaluate the trigger's condition right away to react if that condition
142 * is true from the beginning.
143 *
144 * 4) Unregistration of a trigger
145 * - if the trigger's action is of type "notify",
146 * - remove the trigger from the notification_trigger_clients_ht,
147 * - remove trigger from channel_triggers_ht (if applicable),
148 * - remove trigger from triggers_ht
149 *
150 * 5) Reception of a channel monitor sample from the consumer daemon
151 * - evaluate the conditions associated with the triggers found in
152 * the channel_triggers_ht,
153 * - if a condition evaluates to "true" and the condition is of type
154 * "notify", query the notification_trigger_clients_ht and send
155 * a notification to the clients.
156 *
157 * 6) Connection of a client
158 * - add client socket to the client_socket_ht.
159 *
160 * 7) Disconnection of a client
161 * - remove client socket from the client_socket_ht,
162 * - traverse all conditions to which the client is subscribed and remove
163 * the client from the notification_trigger_clients_ht.
164 *
165 * 8) Subscription of a client to a condition's notifications
166 * - Add the condition to the client's list of subscribed conditions,
167 * - Look-up notification_trigger_clients_ht and add the client to
168 * list of clients.
169 * - Evaluate the condition for the client that subscribed if the trigger
170 * was already registered.
171 *
172 * 9) Unsubscription of a client to a condition's notifications
173 * - Remove the condition from the client's list of subscribed conditions,
174 * - Look-up notification_trigger_clients_ht and remove the client
175 * from the list of clients.
