[PATCH 2/7] Switch git_mmap to use pread.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that Git depends on pread in index-pack its safe to say we can
also depend on it within the git_mmap emulation we activate when
NO_MMAP is set.  On most systems pread should be slightly faster
than an lseek/read/lseek sequence as its one system call vs. three
system calls.

We also now honor EAGAIN and EINTR error codes from pread and
restart the prior read.
