Could I ask a related question. When an aio block is cancelled, is there
anyway to get back the byte count that was processed? e.g. aio_read, the
number of bytes read before the operation was cancelled.
Offhand, I don't know. What happens if you try aio_return() +
aio_error()? When you find out, send me a patch!
I wrote a small program to write 30MB to a file with aio_write.
aio_cancel immediately after enqueing. aio_cancel returnend -1, and
errno was AIO_NOTCANCELED, so I guess it is not possible to cancel in my
Ubuntu glibc build.
BTW, could this aio_cancel text be updated to clarify if aio_error or
aio_cancel is returning AIO_ALLDONE.
" This function returns AIO_ALLDONE if
all requests had already been completed before this call. When
some error
occurs, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately."
My assumption would be that it refers to aio_Cancel, but as it follows
aio_error description.. could be unclear. Maybe the function name can be
added to the description.
Best regards, Jon
