[PATCH v3 2/3] Add preadv and pwritev system calls.
From: Gerd Hoffmann
Date: Mon Dec 15 2008 - 06:39:03 EST
This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a
pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
locking.
Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html
The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like
this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:
ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
Note that the system call uses another argument ordering (last two args
swapped) to avoid unaligned 64bit arguments on the stack.
The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
the x86 system call tables. Other archs follow as separate patches.
