Subject: Re: [PATCH] splice support #2
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 17:06:24 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <17452.50912.404106.256236@samba.org> (raw)

Linus and Jens,

Stephen Rothwell just pointed me at the new splice() interface. Looks
really nice!

One comment though. Could we add a off_t to splice to make it more
like pwrite() ? Otherwise threads could get painful with race
conditions between the seek and the splice() call.

Either that or add psplice() like this:

  ssize_t psplice(int fdin, int fdout, size_t len, off_t ofs, unsigned flags);

where ofs sets the offset to read from fdin. 

Cheers, Tridge
