Re: [PATCH 4/4] io_setup.2: clarify nr_events

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

 



Hi!
Looking carefully at the io_setup.2 man page it says:

...
The  io_setup() system call creates an asynchronous I/O context capable
of concurrently processing at least nr_events.
...
                            ^
			    The 'at least' caught my eye, as it is it
			    may suggest that the nr_events is low limit
			    on the number of events.


Wouldn't be 'at most' more appropriate here? Quick look in the kernel
sources suggest that it allocates buffers for nr_events elements.

Or am I missing something?
