Module utils 

Available on crate feature tasks only.

Task utility functions.

Modules

thread_priority

Thread priority. A library for changing thread’s priority.

Structs

DeadlineFlags

Flags for controlling Deadline scheduling behavior.

SchedAttrLinux or Android

A copy of the Linux kernel’s sched_attr type.

ScheduleParams

Proxy structure to maintain compatibility between glibc and musl

Thread

Represents an OS thread.

ThreadBuilder

A copy of the std::thread::Builder builder allowing to set priority settings.

ThreadPriorityOsValue

Platform-specific thread priority value.

ThreadPriorityValue

Platform-independent thread priority value. Should be in [0; 100) range. The higher the number is - the higher the priority.

Enums

Error

A error type

NormalThreadSchedulePolicy

Normal (non-realtime) schedule policies For these schedule policies, niceness is used.

PriorityPolicyEdgeValueType

Defines the type of the priority edge value: minimum or maximum.

RealtimeThreadSchedulePolicy

The following “real-time” policies are also supported, for special time-critical applications that need precise control over the way in which runnable processes are selected for execution

ThreadPriority

Thread priority enumeration.

ThreadSchedulePolicy

Thread schedule policy definition.

Constants

NICENESS_MAX

The maximum value possible for niceness. Threads with this value of niceness have the highest priority possible

NICENESS_MIN

The minimum value possible for niceness. Threads with this value of niceness have the lowest priority possible.

Traits

ThreadBuilderExt

Adds thread building functions using the priority.

ThreadExt

A helper trait for other threads to implement to be able to call methods on threads themselves.

ThreadScopeExt

Adds scoped thread building functions using the priority.

Functions

deprioritize_background_threads

Deprioritizes known background threads spawned by third-party libraries (OpenTelemetry, tracing-appender, reqwest) by scanning /proc/<pid>/task/ for matching thread names and setting SCHED_IDLE scheduling policy + maximum niceness on them.

get_current_thread_priority

Get current thread’s priority value.

get_thread_priority

Get the thread’s priority value.

get_thread_scheduling_attributesLinux or Android

Returns scheduling attributes for the current thread.

increase_thread_priority

Increases the current thread’s priority.

set_current_thread_priority

Set current thread’s priority. In order to properly map a value of the thread priority, the thread scheduling must be known. This function attempts to retrieve the current thread’s scheduling policy and thus map the priority value correctly, so that it fits within the scheduling policy’s allowed range of values.

set_thread_priority_and_policy

Sets thread’s priority and schedule policy

spawn

Spawns a thread with the specified priority.

spawn_careless

Spawns a thread with the specified priority. This is different from spawn in a way that the passed function doesn’t need to accept the ThreadPriority::set_for_current result. In case of an error, the error is logged using the logging facilities.

spawn_scoped

Spawns a scoped thread with the specified priority.

spawn_scoped_careless

Spawns a scoped thread with the specified priority. This is different from spawn_scoped in a way that the passed function doesn’t need to accept the ThreadPriority::set_for_current result. In case of an error, the error is logged using the logging facilities.

thread_native_id

Returns current thread id, which is the current OS’s native handle. It may or may not be equal or even related to rust’s thread id, there is absolutely no guarantee for that.

thread_schedule_policy

Returns policy parameters (schedule policy and other schedule parameters) for current process

thread_schedule_policy_param

Returns policy parameters (schedule policy and other schedule parameters)

Type Aliases

ThreadId

An alias type for a thread id.
