Subject: [patch 13/13] signal/timer/event fds v8 - KAIO eventfd support example ...
This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd
(hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals
the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd.
This patch uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass
an eventfd file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time
a request completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the
completed result to a struct io_event.
I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it runs fine here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c
The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and
epoll too.
This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices requests,
and wait for results using select/poll/epoll.
In a typical scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(),
and will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that
with the addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much
complete), and then would:
epoll_wait(...);
for_each_event {
if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) {
aio_getevents();
dispatch_aio_events();
} else {
dispatch_epoll_event();
}
}
