Hand up...
I have two machines running heavily hit aio based file server
mechanisms. If the patches will apply to a -current system about
2 weeks old I'll give it a try... (atleast without too much trouble).
And now for a wish:
/*----------------------------------------------------------+
| ST_AIO |
| |
| A task in the ST_AIO state means that one of our |
| aio_writes has finished. we will loop thru all |
| outstanding aio_writes to see which one completed. |
| |
*----------------------------------------------------------*/
case ST_AIO:
/*-----------------------------------------------------+
| loop to get completed write process. |
*-----------------------------------------------------*/
for (j=0; j<MAX_WRITERS; j++) {
if (aio[j].task &&
aio_error(&aio[j].iocb) != EINPROGRESS) {
ie: you have to loop to determine which aio operation completed.
Looking thru the kernel, I don't see any easy way to fix this.
But then, I may be missing something (which I don't understand)
about how to setup the sigevent structure:
Aio generates the signal for me (setup via the sigevent struct),
but the sigev_value is not passed depending on how the kernel
processes the signal.
Thanks,
John
