Or do you not consider > them to be IO? From practical point of view - yes some of that processes are complex enough to not attract attention as async usage model. But I'm absolutely for the scenario, when several operations are performed asynchronously like open+stat+fadvice+sendfile. By IO I meant something which has end result, and that result must be enough to start async processing - data in the buffer for example. Async open I would combine with actual data processing - that one can be a one event. > Chris -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
