Subject: Vectored AIO breakage for sockets and pipes ?
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:57:31 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070118042731.GA15859@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070116021438.GA15774@infradead.org>


The call to aio_advance_iovec() in aio_rw_vect_retry() becomes problematic
when it comes to pipe and socket operations which internally modify/advance
the iovec themselves. As a result AIO writes to sockets fail to return
the correct result. 

I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is. One option is to always make
a copy of the iovec and pass that down. Any other thoughts ?

Regards
Suparna
