Имя (Name)

io_submit - submit asynchronous I/O blocks for processing

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <linux/aio_abi.h>          /* Defines needed types */

int io_submit(aio_context_t ctx_id, long nr, struct iocb **iocbpp);

Note: There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see NOTES.


Описание (Description)

Note: this page describes the raw Linux system call interface.
       The wrapper function provided by libaio uses a different type for
       the ctx_id argument.  See NOTES.

The io_submit() system call queues nr I/O request blocks for processing in the AIO context ctx_id. The iocbpp argument should be an array of nr AIO control blocks, which will be submitted to context ctx_id.

The iocb (I/O control block) structure defined in linux/aio_abi.h defines the parameters that control the I/O operation.

#include <linux/aio_abi.h>

struct iocb { __u64 aio_data; __u32 PADDED(aio_key, aio_rw_flags); __u16 aio_lio_opcode; __s16 aio_reqprio; __u32 aio_fildes; __u64 aio_buf; __u64 aio_nbytes; __s64 aio_offset; __u64 aio_reserved2; __u32 aio_flags; __u32 aio_resfd; };

The fields of this structure are as follows:

aio_data This data is copied into the data field of the io_event structure upon I/O completion (see io_getevents(2)).

aio_key This is an internal field used by the kernel. Do not modify this field after an io_submit() call.

aio_rw_flags This defines the R/W flags passed with structure. The valid values are:

RWF_APPEND (since Linux 4.16) Append data to the end of the file. See the description of the flag of the same name in pwritev2(2) as well as the description of O_APPEND in open(2). The aio_offset field is ignored. The file offset is not changed.

RWF_DSYNC (since Linux 4.13) Write operation complete according to requirement of synchronized I/O data integrity. See the description of the flag of the same name in pwritev2(2) as well the description of O_DSYNC in open(2).

RWF_HIPRI (since Linux 4.13) High priority request, poll if possible

RWF_NOWAIT (since Linux 4.14) Don't wait if the I/O will block for operations such as file block allocations, dirty page flush, mutex locks, or a congested block device inside the kernel. If any of these conditions are met, the control block is returned immediately with a return value of -EAGAIN in the res field of the io_event structure (see io_getevents(2)).

RWF_SYNC (since Linux 4.13) Write operation complete according to requirement of synchronized I/O file integrity. See the description of the flag of the same name in pwritev2(2) as well the description of O_SYNC in open(2).

aio_lio_opcode This defines the type of I/O to be performed by the iocb structure. The valid values are defined by the enum defined in linux/aio_abi.h:

enum { IOCB_CMD_PREAD = 0, IOCB_CMD_PWRITE = 1, IOCB_CMD_FSYNC = 2, IOCB_CMD_FDSYNC = 3, IOCB_CMD_POLL = 5, IOCB_CMD_NOOP = 6, IOCB_CMD_PREADV = 7, IOCB_CMD_PWRITEV = 8, };

aio_reqprio This defines the requests priority.

aio_fildes The file descriptor on which the I/O operation is to be performed.

aio_buf This is the buffer used to transfer data for a read or write operation.

aio_nbytes This is the size of the buffer pointed to by aio_buf.

aio_offset This is the file offset at which the I/O operation is to be performed.

aio_flags This is the set of flags associated with the iocb structure. The valid values are:

IOCB_FLAG_RESFD Asynchronous I/O control must signal the file descriptor mentioned in aio_resfd upon completion.

IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO (since Linux 4.18) Interpret the aio_reqprio field as an IOPRIO_VALUE as defined by linux/ioprio.h.

aio_resfd The file descriptor to signal in the event of asynchronous I/O completion.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, io_submit() returns the number of iocbs submitted
       (which may be less than nr, or 0 if nr is zero).  For the failure
       return, see NOTES.

Ошибки (Error)

EAGAIN Insufficient resources are available to queue any iocbs.

EBADF The file descriptor specified in the first iocb is invalid.

EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data.

EINVAL The AIO context specified by ctx_id is invalid. nr is less than 0. The iocb at *iocbpp[0] is not properly initialized, the operation specified is invalid for the file descriptor in the iocb, or the value in the aio_reqprio field is invalid.

ENOSYS io_submit() is not implemented on this architecture.

EPERM The aio_reqprio field is set with the class IOPRIO_CLASS_RT, but the submitting context does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.


Версии (Versions)

The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5.

Стандарты (Conforming to)

io_submit() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs
       that are intended to be portable.

Примечание (Note)

Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call.  You could
       invoke it using syscall(2).  But instead, you probably want to
       use the io_submit() wrapper function provided by libaio.

Note that the libaio wrapper function uses a different type (io_context_t) for the ctx_id argument. Note also that the libaio wrapper does not follow the usual C library conventions for indicating errors: on error it returns a negated error number (the negative of one of the values listed in ERRORS). If the system call is invoked via syscall(2), then the return value follows the usual conventions for indicating an error: -1, with errno set to a (positive) value that indicates the error.
