In loopback mode for local file URIs, it may become an issue. C Git is just getting lucky by the pipe size I think. Though I thought I read somewhere yesterday pipe FIFOs in Linux were being allocated at 512 bytes, not one system page. Of course other systems could allocate whatever size they want too, and may allocate something below the 2952 minimum, and we'd most likely see a deadlock on them.
Linux allocates one page 4096 bytes for a FIFO. 512 is the maximum size guaranteed by POSIX to result in an atomic write. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Register now for Nordic Meet on Nagios, June 3-4 in Stockholm http://nordicmeetonnagios.op5.org/ Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
