{- git-annex assistant daemon
-
- Copyright 2012 Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>
-
- Licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 or higher.
-
- Overview of threads and MVars, etc:
-
- Thread 1: parent
- The initial thread run, double forks to background, starts other
- threads, and then stops, waiting for them to terminate,
- or for a ctrl-c.
- Thread 2: watcher
- Notices new files, and calls handlers for events, queuing changes.
- Thread 3: inotify internal
- Used by haskell inotify library to ensure inotify event buffer is
- kept drained.
- Thread 4: inotify startup scanner
- Scans the tree and registers inotify watches for each directory.
- A MVar lock is used to prevent other inotify handlers from running
- until this is complete.
- Thread 5: committer
- Waits for changes to occur, and runs the git queue to update its
- index, then commits.
- Thread 6: status logger
- Wakes up periodically and records the daemon's status to disk.
- Thread 7: sanity checker
- Wakes up periodically (rarely) and does sanity checks.
-
- ThreadState: (MVar)
- The Annex state is stored here, which allows resuscitating the
- Annex monad in IO actions run by the inotify and committer
- threads. Thus, a single state is shared amoung the threads, and
- only one at a time can access it.
- DaemonStatusHandle: (MVar)
- The daemon's current status. This MVar should only be manipulated
- from inside the Annex monad, which ensures it's accessed only
- after the ThreadState MVar.
- ChangeChan: (STM TChan)
- Changes are indicated by writing to this channel. The committer
- reads from it.
