MFP4 (with some minor changes): Implement the linux_io_* syscalls (AIO). They are only enabled if the native AIO code is available (either compiled in to the kernel or as a module) at the time the functions are used. If the AIO stuff is not available there will be a ENOSYS. From the submitter: ---snip--- DESIGN NOTES: 1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by "context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process. My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context", and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue. When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context request queues maintained by my code. 2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks (struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2). 3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105 needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID. To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of libaio-0.3.105 reads: Ben will hate me for this REFERENCE: 1.
