 * Copyright (C) 2018 Davidlohr Bueso.
 *
 * This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) monitoring multiple
 * file descriptors under one or two load balancing models. The first,
 * and default, is the single/combined queueing (which refers to a single
 * epoll instance for N worker threads):
 *
 *                          |---> [worker A]
 *                          |---> [worker B]
 *        [combined queue]  .---> [worker C]
 *                          |---> [worker D]
 *                          |---> [worker E]
 *
 * While the second model, enabled via --multiq option, uses multiple
 * queueing (which refers to one epoll instance per worker). For example,
 * short lived tcp connections in a high throughput httpd server will
 * ditribute the accept()'ing  connections across CPUs. In this case each
 * worker does a limited  amount of processing.
 *
 *             [queue A]  ---> [worker]
 *             [queue B]  ---> [worker]
 *             [queue C]  ---> [worker]
 *             [queue D]  ---> [worker]
 *             [queue E]  ---> [worker]
 *
 * Naturally, the single queue will enforce more concurrency on the epoll
 * instance, and can therefore scale poorly compared to multiple queues.
 * However, this is a benchmark raw data and must be taken with a grain of
 * salt when choosing how to make use of sys_epoll.

 * Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
 * referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to
 * the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of
 * epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this
 * is not what we want to stress. The size of the fdmap can be adjusted
 * by the user; enlarging the value will increase the chances of
 * epoll_wait(2) blocking as the lineal writer thread will take "longer",
 * at least at a high level.
 *
 * Note that because fds are private to each thread, this workload does
 * not stress scenarios where multiple tasks are awoken per ready IO; ie:
 * EPOLLEXCLUSIVE semantics.
 *
 * The end result/metric is throughput: number of ops/second where an
 * operation consists of:
 *
 *   epoll_wait(2) + [others]
 *
 *        ... where [others] is the cost of re-adding the fd (EPOLLET),
 *            or rearming it (EPOLLONESHOT).
 *
 *
 * The purpose of this is program is that it be useful for measuring
 * kernel related changes to the sys_epoll, and not comparing different
 * IO polling methods, for example. Hence everything is very adhoc and
 * outputs raw microbenchmark numbers. Also this uses eventfd, similar
 * tools tend to use pipes or sockets, but the result is the same.
