.Dt AIO_MLOCK 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm aio_mlock
|
|
.Nd asynchronous
|
|
.Xr mlock 2
|
|
operation
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In aio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock "struct aiocb *iocb"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
system call allows the calling process to lock into memory the
|
|
physical pages associated with the virtual address range starting at
|
|
.Fa iocb->aio_buf
|
|
for
|
|
.Fa iocb->aio_nbytes
|
|
bytes.
|
|
The call returns immediately after the locking request has
|
|
been enqueued; the operation may or may not have completed at the time
|
|
the call returns.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa iocb
|
|
pointer may be subsequently used as an argument to
|
|
.Fn aio_return
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn aio_error
|
|
in order to determine return or error status for the enqueued operation
|
|
while it is in progress.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the request could not be enqueued (generally due to
|
|
.Xr aio 4
|
|
limits),
|
|
then the call returns without having enqueued the request.
|
|
.Sh RESTRICTIONS
|
|
The Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa iocb
|
|
and the buffer that the
|
|
.Fa iocb->aio_buf
|
|
member of that structure references must remain valid until the
|
|
operation has completed.
|
|
For this reason, use of auto (stack) variables
|
|
for these objects is discouraged.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The asynchronous I/O control buffer
|
|
.Fa iocb
|
|
should be zeroed before the
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
call to avoid passing bogus context information to the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Modifications of the Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure or the
|
|
buffer contents after the request has been enqueued, but before the
|
|
request has completed, are not allowed.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std aio_mlock
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
system call will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The request was not queued because of system resource limitations.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
system call is not supported.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the request is successfully enqueued, but subsequently cancelled
|
|
or an error occurs, the value returned by the
|
|
.Fn aio_return
|
|
system call is per the
|
|
.Xr mlock 2
|
|
system call, and the value returned by the
|
|
.Fn aio_error
|
|
system call is one of the error returns from the
|
|
.Xr mlock 2
|
|
system call, or
|
|
.Er ECANCELED
|
|
if the request was explicitly cancelled via a call to
|
|
.Fn aio_cancel .

|
.Sh PORTABILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
system call is a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
extension, and should not be used in portable code.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_mlock
|
|
system call first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 10.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The system call was introduced by
|
|
.An Gleb Smirnoff Aq glebius@FreeBSD.org .
