Subject: [PATCHSET v2] io_uring: support fileset add/remove/modify
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 10:22:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191004162222.10390-1-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)
Currently we only support registrering a fixed file set. If changes need
to be made to that set, the application must unregister the existing set
first, then register a new one.
This patchset adds support for sparse file sets (patch 1), which means
the application can register a fileset with room for expansion. This is
done through having unregistered slots use fd == -1.
On top of that, we can add IORING_REGISTER_FILES_UPDATE. This allows
modifying the existing file set through:
- Replacing empty slots with valid file descriptors
- Replacing valid descriptors with an empty slot
- Modifying an existing slot, replacing a file descriptor with a new one
