Hi guys... Trying to do some AIO stuff here, and got a question.
Perhaps I'm not understanding how AIO works in UML... Could someone
perhaps give me an explanation of why we end up in pread, instead of
aio? Does UML not support AIO through its block device driver?
Thank you,
Allan
The simple test program:
#include <aio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
main()
{
struct aiocb aiocb;
int fd;
char buf[1024];
fd = open("/tmp/outfile", O_RDONLY);
perror("open");
bzero(&aiocb, sizeof(aiocb));
aiocb.aio_fildes = fd;
aiocb.aio_buf = buf;
aiocb.aio_nbytes = sizeof(buf);
aio_read(&aiocb);
perror("aio_read");
while (aio_error(&aiocb) == EINPROGRESS);
printf("buf = %s\n", buf);
}
Tracing the aio_read() through the UML kernel finally gets me here:
