In the same way a preadx/pwritex could use but would not require an
O_ATOMIC. What's the status of those in t10? Last I heard
READ GATHERED was out and they were only looking into WRITE SCATTERED?
Without the atomic WRITE SCATTERED use case adding the syscalls seems
rather pointless, and I'd really avoid blocking nice software only
features like the per-I/O nonblock flag (and the similarly trivial
per-I/O sync option I have a prototype for) on it.
Speaking of easy flags: while a nonblock flags for writes wouldn't
be anywhere near as easy as the one for reads would there be sufficient
interested in it to bother implementing it?
