Subject: Re: [PATCH] splice support #2 Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel Date: 2006-03-31 06:06:24 GMT (2 years, 21 weeks, 3 days, 17 hours and 8 minutes ago) 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 |
