Today, it increases IO#close performance with many threads:
Execution time (sec)
name trunk after
vm_thread_close 4.276 3.018
Speedup ratio: compare with the result of `trunk' (greater is better)
name after
vm_thread_close 1.417
This speedup comes because rb_notify_fd_close only scans threads
inside rb_thread_io_blocking_region, not all threads in the VM.
In the future, this type data structure may allow us to notify
waiters of multiple FDs on a single thread (when using
Fibers).
thread.c (struct waiting_fd): declare
(rb_thread_io_blocking_region): use on-stack list waiter
(rb_notify_fd_close): walk vm->waiting_fds instead
(call_without_gvl): remove old field setting
(th_init): ditto
vm_core.h (typedef struct rb_vm_struct): add waiting_fds list
(typedef struct rb_thread_struct): remove waiting_fd field
(rb_vm_living_threads_init): initialize waiting_fds list
I am now kicking myself for not thinking about this 3 years ago
when I introduced ccan/list in [Feature #9632] to optimize this
same function :<
