And please don't base this on sendfile. Please make the splice infrastructure aynschronous without duplicating all the code but rather make the existing code aynch and the existing synchronous call wait on them to finish, similar to how we handle async/sync direct I/O. And to be honest, I don't think adding all this code is acceptable if it can't replace the existing aio code while keeping the interface. So while you interface looks pretty sane the implementation needs a lot of work still :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
