Redis 对 epoll 的封装其实也是类似的，使用 epoll_create 创建 epoll 中使用的 epfd：

static int aeApiCreate(aeEventLoop *eventLoop) {
    aeApiState *state = zmalloc(sizeof(aeApiState));

    if (!state) return -1;
    state->events = zmalloc(sizeof(struct epoll_event)*eventLoop->setsize);
    if (!state->events) {
        zfree(state);
        return -1;
    }
    state->epfd = epoll_create(1024); /* 1024 is just a hint for the kernel */
    if (state->epfd == -1) {
        zfree(state->events);
        zfree(state);
        return -1;
    }
    eventLoop->apidata = state;
    return 0;
}

在 aeApiAddEvent 中使用 epoll_ctl 向 epfd 中添加需要监控的 FD 以及监听的事件：

static int aeApiAddEvent(aeEventLoop *eventLoop, int fd, int mask) {
    aeApiState *state = eventLoop->apidata;
    struct epoll_event ee = {0}; /* avoid valgrind warning */
    /* If the fd was already monitored for some event, we need a MOD
     * operation. Otherwise we need an ADD operation. */
    int op = eventLoop->events[fd].mask == AE_NONE ?
            EPOLL_CTL_ADD : EPOLL_CTL_MOD;

    ee.events = 0;
    mask |= eventLoop->events[fd].mask; /* Merge old events */
    if (mask & AE_READABLE) ee.events |= EPOLLIN;
    if (mask & AE_WRITABLE) ee.events |= EPOLLOUT;
    ee.data.fd = fd;
    if (epoll_ctl(state->epfd,op,fd,&ee) == -1) return -1;
    return 0;
}

由于 epoll 相比 select 机制略有不同，在 epoll_wait 函数返回时并不需要遍历所有的 FD 查看读写情况；在 epoll_wait 函数返回时会提供一个 epoll_event 数组：

typedef union epoll_data {
    void    *ptr;
    int      fd; /* 文件描述符 */
    uint32_t u32;
    uint64_t u64;
} epoll_data_t;

struct epoll_event {
    uint32_t     events; /* Epoll 事件 */
    epoll_data_t data;
};

aeApiPoll 函数只需要将 epoll_event 数组中存储的信息加 入  eventLoop  的  fired 数组中，将信息传递给上层模块：

static int aeApiPoll(aeEventLoop *eventLoop, struct timeval *tvp) {
    aeApiState *state = eventLoop->apidata;
    int retval, numevents = 0;

    retval = epoll_wait(state->epfd,state->events,eventLoop->setsize,
            tvp ? (tvp->tv_sec*1000 + tvp->tv_usec/1000) : -1);
    if (retval > 0) {
        int j;

        numevents = retval;
        for (j = 0; j < numevents; j++) {
            int mask = 0;
            struct epoll_event *e = state->events+j;

            if (e->events & EPOLLIN) mask |= AE_READABLE;
            if (e->events & EPOLLOUT) mask |= AE_WRITABLE;
            if (e->events & EPOLLERR) mask |= AE_WRITABLE;
            if (e->events & EPOLLHUP) mask |= AE_WRITABLE;
            eventLoop->fired[j].fd = e->data.fd;
            eventLoop->fired[j].mask = mask;
        }
    }
    return numevents;
}
