Hello,
I'am the developer of the subset of Linux API on windows.
Pretty much all system calls were "wrapped" up to the the latest kernel native AIO support.
While compiling/running test program natively on Linux (2.6.18-8.1.10.el5) I've got hit by undocumented limitations of AIO system:
* aio support only for files opened with O_DIRECT * alignment issues/data sizes for O_DIRECT-opened files * special cases like extending file, reading meatadata also seem to block.
I was glad to find out that a work was done to overcome this: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/suparna/aio/
The only thing that concerns me is that the 2007 year patches are all against release candidates, and the latest one was released more than 7 months ago.
So I'am looking for the status update.
Any current plans/interest to finally include this in latest trees?
Or this was taken down in favour of servlets?
Regards,
