ffmpeg中关于EAGAIN的理解及非阻塞IO

ffmpeg为在linux下开发的开源音视频框架，所以经常会碰到很多错误(设置errno)，其中EAGAIN是其中比较常见的一个错误(比如用在非阻塞操作中)。

 try again，从字面上来看，是提示再试一次。这个错误经常出现在当应用程序进行一些非阻塞(non-blocking)操作(对文件或socket)的时候。例如：

ret = av_bsf_receive_packet(s->bsfs[idx], pkt);
if (ret == AVERROR(EAGAIN)) {
/* no packets available, try the next filter up the chain */
ret = 0;
idx--;
continue;
}

这段代码就会提示到无法读取filter后的packet，去尝试读取下一帧的packet

如果你连续做read操作而没有数据可读。此时程序不会阻塞起来等待数据准备就绪返回，read函数会返回一个错误EAGAIN，提示你的应用程序现在没有数据可读请稍后再试。

又例如，当一个系统调用(比如fork)因为没有足够的资源(比如虚拟内存)而执行失败，返回EAGAIN提示其再调用一次(也许下次就能成功)。

非阻塞操作IO：

当用户线程发起一个read操作后，并不需要等待，而是马上就得到了一个结果。如果结果是一个error时，它就知道数据还没有准备好，于是它可以再次发送read操作。一旦内核中的数据准备好了，并且又再次收到了用户线程的请求，那么它马上就将数据拷贝到了用户线程，然后返回。

 while(true){ 
            data = socket.read(); 
            if(data!= error){ 
                处理数据 
                break; 
            } 
        } 

所以事实上，在非阻塞IO模型中，用户线程需要不断地询问内核数据是否就绪，也就说非阻塞IO不会交出CPU，而会一直占用CPU。

但是对于非阻塞IO就有一个非常严重的问题，在while循环中需要不断地去询问内核数据是否就绪，这样会导致CPU占用率非常高，因此一般情况下很少使用while循环这种方式来读取数据。

阻塞操作IO：

最传统的一种IO模型，即在读写数据过程中会发生阻塞现象。

　　当用户线程发出IO请求之后，内核会去查看数据是否就绪，如果没有就绪就会等待数据就绪，而用户线程就会处于阻塞状态，用户线程交出CPU。当数据就绪之后，内核会将数据拷贝到用户线程，并返回结果给用户线程，用户线程才解除block状态。

典型的阻塞IO模型的例子为：

 data = socket.read(); 

如果数据没有就绪，就会一直阻塞在read方法。

此外，ffmpeg中经常会返回负值也即写数据包失败。不同的负值代表不同的含义，可以根据错误码定义问题，ffmpeg中定义的EEROR类别举例如下：
