Subject: [POC RFC 0/3] splice(2) support for io_uring
It works well for basic cases, but there is still work to be done. E.g.
it misses @hash_reg_file checks for the second (output) file. Anyway,
there are some questions I want to discuss:
- why sqe->len is __u32? Splice uses size_t, and I think it's better
to have something wider (e.g. u64) for fututre use. That's the story
behind added sqe->splice_len.
- it requires 2 fds, and it's painful. Currently file managing is done
by common path (e.g. io_req_set_file(), __io_req_aux_free()). I'm
thinking to make each opcode function handle file grabbing/putting
themself with some helpers, as it's done in the patch for splice's
out-file.
1. Opcode handler knows, whether it have/needs a file, and thus
doesn't need extra checks done in common path.
2. It will be more consistent with splice.
Objections? Ideas?
- do we need offset pointers with fallback to file->f_pos? Or is it
enough to have offset value. Jens, I remember you added the first
option somewhere, could you tell the reasoning?
Pavel Begunkov (3):
splice: make do_splice public
io_uring: add interface for getting files
io_uring: add splice(2) support
