This patchset is comprised of 5 patches, each implementing a specific functionality: - aiomaxevents: adds a sysctl variable for setting the default AIO context event ring size at runtime. This tunable is accessible via /proc/sys/fs/posix-aio-default-max-nr. - aioevent: adds support for request completion notification. - lioevent: adds support for list of requests completion notification. - liowait: adds support for the POSIX listio LIO_WAIT mechanism. - cancelfd: adds support for cancellation against a file descriptor. These patches apply cleanly on a vanilla 2.6.12 kernel tree and should be applied in the order shown before. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Sébastien Dugué BULL/FREC:B1-247 phone: (+33) 476 29 77 70 Bullcom: 229-7770 mailto:sebastien.dugue@bull.net Linux POSIX AIO: http://www.bullopensource.org/posix ------------------------------------------------------
