Message-ID: <20070118042731.GA15859@in.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:57:31 +0530 From: Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@...ibm.com> To: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>, pbadari@...ibm.com Cc: linux-aio@...ck.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Vectored AIO breakage for sockets and pipes ? The call to aio_advance_iovec() in aio_rw_vect_retry() becomes problematic when it comes to pipe and socket operations which internally modify/advance the iovec themselves. As a result AIO writes to sockets fail to return the correct result. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is. One option is to always make a copy of the iovec and pass that down. Any other thoughts ?
