A request contains every information * needed two complete the file operation successfully like the start offset * and pointer to the source or destination buffer. * Requests are created with RTFileAioReqCreate() and destroyed with * RTFileAioReqDestroy(). * Because creating a request may require allocating various operating * system dependent resources and may be quite expensive it is possible * to use a request more than once to save CPU cycles. * A request is constructed with either RTFileAioReqPrepareRead() * which will set up a request to read from the given file or * RTFileAioReqPrepareWrite() which will write to a given file. * * The second object is the context. A file is associated with a context * and requests for this file may complete only on the context the file * was associated with and not on the context given in RTFileAioCtxSubmit() * (see below for further information). * RTFileAioCtxWait() is used to wait for completion of requests which were * associated with the context. While waiting for requests the thread can not * respond to global state changes. That's why the API provides a way to let * RTFileAioCtxWait() return immediately no matter how many requests * have finished through RTFileAioCtxWakeup(). The return code is * VERR_INTERRUPTED to let the thread know that he got interrupted. * * @section sec_rt_asyncio_request_states Request states * * Created: * After a request was created with RTFileAioReqCreate() it is in the same state * like it just completed successfully. RTFileAioReqGetRC() will return VINF_SUCCESS * and a transfer size of 0. RTFileAioReqGetUser() will return NULL. The request can be * destroyed RTFileAioReqDestroy(). It is also allowed to prepare a the request * for a data transfer with the RTFileAioReqPrepare* methods. * Calling any other method like RTFileAioCtxSubmit() will return VERR_FILE_AIO_NOT_PREPARED * and RTFileAioReqCancel() returns VERR_FILE_AIO_NOT_SUBMITTED. * * Prepared: * A request will enter this state if one of the RTFileAioReqPrepare* methods * is called. In this state you can still destroy and retrieve the user data * associated with the request but trying to cancel the request or getting * the result of the operation will return VERR_FILE_AIO_NOT_SUBMITTED. * * Submitted: * A prepared request can be submitted with RTFileAioCtxSubmit(). If the operation * succeeds it is not allowed to touch the request or free any resources until * it completed through RTFileAioCtxWait(). The only allowed method is RTFileAioReqCancel() * which tries to cancel the request. The request will go into the completed state * and RTFileAioReqGetRC() will return VERR_FILE_AIO_CANCELED. * If the request completes not matter if successfully or with an error it will * switch into the completed state. RTFileReqDestroy() fails if the given request * is in this state. * * Completed: * The request will be in this state after it completed and returned through * RTFileAioCtxWait(). RTFileAioReqGetRC() returns the final result code * and the number of bytes transferred. * The request can be used for new data transfers. * * @section sec_rt_asyncio_threading Threading * * The API is a thin wrapper around the specific host OS APIs and therefore * relies on the thread safety of the underlying API. * The interesting functions with regards to thread safety are RTFileAioCtxSubmit() * and RTFileAioCtxWait(). RTFileAioCtxWait() must not be called from different * threads at the same time with the same context handle. The same applies to * RTFileAioCtxSubmit(). However it is possible to submit new requests from a different * thread while waiting for completed requests on another thread with RTFileAioCtxWait(). * * @section sec_rt_asyncio_implementations Differences in implementation * * Because the host APIs are quite different on every OS and every API has other limitations * there are some things to consider to make the code as portable as possible. * * The first restriction at the moment is that every buffer has to be aligned to a 512 byte boundary. * This limitation comes from the Linux io_* interface. To use the interface the file * must be opened with O_DIRECT. This flag disables the kernel cache too which may * degrade performance but is unfortunately the only way to make asynchronous * I/O work till today (if O_DIRECT is omitted io_submit will revert to sychronous behavior * and will return when the requests finished and when they are queued). * It is mostly used by DBMS which do theire own caching. * Furthermore there is no filesystem independent way to discover the restrictions at least * for the 2.4 kernel series. Since 2.6 the 512 byte boundary seems to be used by all * file systems. So Linus comment about this flag is comprehensible but Linux * lacks an alternative at the moment. * * The next limitation applies only to Windows. Requests are not associated with the * I/O context they are associated with but with the file the request is for. * The file needs to be associated with exactly one I/O completion port and requests * for this file will only arrive at that context after they completed and not on * the context the request was submitted. * To associate a file with a specific context RTFileAioCtxAssociateWithFile() is * used. It is only implemented on Windows and does nothing on the other platforms. * If the file needs to be associated with different context for some reason * the file must be closed first. After it was opened again the new context * can be associated with the other context. * This can't be done by the API because there is no way to retrieve the flags * the file was opened with. */ /** * Global limits for the AIO API. */ typedef struct RTFILEAIOLIMITS { /** Global number of simultaneous outstanding requests allowed. * RTFILEAIO_UNLIMITED_REQS means no limit. */ uint32_t cReqsOutstandingMax; /** The alignment data buffers need to have. * 0 means no alignment restrictions. */ uint32_t cbBufferAlignment; } RTFILEAIOLIMITS; /** A pointer to a AIO limits structure. */ typedef RTFILEAIOLIMITS *PRTFILEAIOLIMITS; /** * Returns the global limits for the AIO API. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the host does not support the async I/O API. * * @param pAioLimits Where to store the global limit information. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioGetLimits(PRTFILEAIOLIMITS pAioLimits); /** * Creates an async I/O request handle. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @param phReq Where to store the request handle. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqCreate(PRTFILEAIOREQ phReq); /** * Destroys an async I/O request handle. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS if the request is still in progress. * * @param hReq The request handle. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqDestroy(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq); /** * Prepares an async read request. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS if the request is still in progress. * * @param hReq The request handle. * @param hFile The file to read from. * @param off The offset to start reading at. * @param pvBuf Where to store the read bits. * @param cbRead Number of bytes to read. * @param pvUser Opaque user data associated with this request which * can be retrieved with RTFileAioReqGetUser(). */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqPrepareRead(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq, RTFILE hFile, RTFOFF off, void *pvBuf, size_t cbRead, void *pvUser); /** * Prepares an async write request. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS if the request is still in progress. * * @param hReq The request handle. * @param hFile The file to write to. * @param off The offset to start writing at. * @param pvBuf The bits to write. * @param cbWrite Number of bytes to write. * @param pvUser Opaque user data associated with this request which * can be retrieved with RTFileAioReqGetUser(). */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqPrepareWrite(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq, RTFILE hFile, RTFOFF off, void const *pvBuf, size_t cbWrite, void *pvUser); /** * Prepares an async flush of all cached data associated with a file handle. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS if the request is still in progress. * * @param hReq The request handle. * @param hFile The file to flush. * @param pvUser Opaque user data associated with this request which * can be retrieved with RTFileAioReqGetUser(). * * @remarks May also flush other caches on some platforms. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqPrepareFlush(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq, RTFILE hFile, void *pvUser); /** * Gets the opaque user data associated with the given request. * * @returns Opaque user data. * @retval NULL if the request hasn't been prepared yet. * * @param hReq The request handle. */ RTDECL(void *) RTFileAioReqGetUser(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq); /** * Cancels a pending request. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @retval VINF_SUCCESS If the request was canceled. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_NOT_SUBMITTED If the request wasn't submitted yet. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS If the request could not be canceled because it is already processed. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_COMPLETED If the request could not be canceled because it already completed. * * @param hReq The request to cancel. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqCancel(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq); /** * Gets the status of a completed request. * * @returns The IPRT status code of the given request. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_NOT_SUBMITTED if the request wasn't submitted yet. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_CANCELED if the request was canceled. * @retval VERR_FILE_AIO_IN_PROGRESS if the request isn't yet completed. * * @param hReq The request handle. * @param pcbTransferred Where to store the number of bytes transferred. * Optional since it is not relevant for all kinds of * requests. */ RTDECL(int) RTFileAioReqGetRC(RTFILEAIOREQ hReq, size_t *pcbTransferred); /** * Creates an async I/O context. * * @todo briefly explain what an async context is here or in the page * above. * * @returns IPRT status code. * @param phAioCtx Where to store the async I/O context handle. * @param cAioReqsMax How many async I/O requests the context should be capable * to handle.
