* ta/sendfile/OTP-9240:
Do not use async threads on DARWIN
Fix cleanup when sendfile process crashes
Return {error,closed} from sendfile if closed
Do not use SFV_NOWAIT as it does not exist on all solaris
Clarify some code comments
Make solaris use sendfilev
|
|
Thanks Tuncer Ayaz

sendfilev is a richer API which allows us to
do non blocking TCP on solaris. The normal
sendfile API seems to have some issue with
non blocking sockets and the return value of
sendfile.
|
|
First stage in utc-time for prim_file.
|
|
Since the API for headers/trailers seem to be very awkward to
work with when using non-blocking io the feature is dropped
for now. See unix_efile.c for more details.
|
|
Have to figure out how to represent progress in header writing when
using non-blocking, not sure how to do this.
|
|
|

When there are no async threads sendfile will use the
ready_output select on the socket fd to know when to send
data.
The file_desc will also be put in the sending sendfile_state
which buffers all other commands to that file until the
sendfile is done.
|
|
Move the command handling to outputv in preparation for
header and trailer inclusion in the sendfile api.
Use the standard efile communication functions for sendfile.
|
|
Allow Erlang code to use sendfile() where available by wrapping it as
file:sendfile/4 and file:sendfile/2.
sendfile(2) - Linux man page:
"sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another.
Because this copying is done within the kernel, sendfile() is more
efficient than the combination of read(2) and write(2), which would
require transferring data to and from user space."

Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and
creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag
to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL
varies across platforms and filesystems.
{ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]),
{error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

* fm/file-operations:
Update preloaded modules
Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise
Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only
sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macro
OTP-8637 fm/file-operations
The functions file:advise/4 and file:datasync/1 have been added. (Thanks to
Filipe David Manana.)

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.
|
|
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
