Linux aio
- 2. Agenda IO Models POSIX AIO Linux Native AIO
- 3. IO Models
- 8. POSIX AIO glibc implementation Built on top of pthread All user space
- 9. POSIX AIO man 3 aio aio_init(3), aio_cancel(3), aio_cancel64(3), aio_error(3), aio_error64(3), aio_fsync(3), aio_fsync64(3), aio_init(3), aio_read(3), aio_read64(3), aio_return(3), aio_return64(3), aio_suspend(3), aio_suspend64(3), aio_write(3), aio_write64(3)
- 10. POSIX AIO __aio_enqueue_request if (nthreads < optim.aio_threads && idle_thread_count == 0) aio_create_helper_thread (&thid, handle_fildes_io, newp) Queued operations: LIO_READ,LIO_WRITE,LIO_NOP LIO_DSYNC, LIO_SYNC, LIO_READ64,LIO_WRITE64
- 11. POSIX AIO handle_fildes_io pread/read pwrite/write fdatasync/fsync
- 13. Linux Native AIO Kernel space implementation Use workqueue to handle deferred left-overs Libaio wrappers
- 14. Linux Native AIO Only support AIO-DIO No AIO fsync/fdatasync Not on sockets/pipes
- 15. Supported Operations IO_CMD_PREAD, IO_CMD_PWRITE IO_CMD_FSYNC, IO_CMD_FDSYNC IO_CMD_POLL, IO_CMD_NOOP IO_CMD_PREADV, IO_CMD_PWRITEV
- 16. Syscall APIs int io_setup(int maxevents, io_context_t *ctxp); int io_destroy(io_context_t ctx); int io_submit(io_context_t ctx, long nr, struct iocb *ios[]); int io_cancel(io_context_t ctx, struct iocb *iocb, struct io_event *evt); int io_getevents(io_context_t ctx_id, long min_nr, long nr, struct io_event *events, struct timespec *timeout);
