2012-03-22Remove code causing dialyzer warning from prim_filePatrik Nyblom
2012-03-22Rename dyntrace BIFs to more suiting namesPatrik Nyblom
2012-03-22Add user tag spreading functionality to VM and use in filePatrik Nyblom
User tags in a dynamic trace enabled VM are spread throughout the system in the same way as seq_trace tokens. This is used by the file module and various other modules to get hold of the tag from the user process without changing the protocol.
2012-03-22Update dtrace for changes in R15Björn-Egil Dahlberg
2012-03-22Add DTrace support for OS X, Solaris, and Linux (via SystemTap), 4/4Scott Lystig Fritchie
Add probes to (mostly) the efile_drv.c driver and other file I/O-related source files.
2011-12-08Change name of bif universaltime_to_seconds/1Björn-Egil Dahlberg
* erlang:universaltime_to_seconds/1 changed to erlang:universaltime_to_posixtime/1 * erlang:seconds_to_universaltime/1 changed to erlang:posixtime_to_universaltime/1 Let prim_file.erl reflect these changes.
2011-12-08Change options to prim_file:*_file_info/*Björn-Egil Dahlberg
* 'utc' changed to 'universal' * 'epoch' changed to 'posix' This change conforms to other naming already in OTP, e.g. erlang:universaltime_to_localtime/1.
2011-12-08Catch errors from prim_file:*_file_infoBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
We do not want to crash the file server.

2011-12-02Fix prim_file time conversionsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2011-12-02Move datetime into prim_fileBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2011-12-02Use epoch seconds instead of datetime()Björn-Egil Dahlberg
First stage in utc-time for prim_file.
2011-12-02Remove header/trailer supportLukas Larsson
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.
2011-12-02Only allow tcp sockets as target for sendfileLukas Larsson
2011-12-01Preliminary work on header/trailerLukas Larsson
Have to figure out how to represent progress in header writing when using non-blocking, not sure how to do this.
2011-12-01Implement blocking calls for sendfileLukas Larsson
Move sendfile data to invoke data instead of file_descr. Remove usage of ready_output when doing a send. If told to send 0 bytes, file_sendfile now sends the entire file for linux.
2011-12-01Implement sendfile using blocking io in asynch threadsLukas Larsson
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.
2011-12-01Create erlang fallback for sendfileLukas Larsson
Created erlang fallback for sendfile in gen_tcp and moved sendfile from file to gen_tcp. Also created testcases for testing all different options to sendfile. For info about how sendfile should work see the BSD man pages as they contain a more complete API than other *nixes.
2011-11-29Implement file:sendfileTuncer Ayaz
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."

2011-06-08Teach prim_file:list_dir/1,2 to use fname chunksBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The efile driver will now use chunked data on list_dir. This will lessen the number of sends to prim_file and hence improve performance. This method is utilized in both direct and async cases.
2011-06-08Replace atom in DRV macro in prim_file with stringStavros Aronis
An experimental version of Dialyzer discovered that the atom that replaced the DRV macro in prim_file ends up in calls to erlang:open_port({spawn, Driver}, Portopts) as the Driver argument. The documentation states that this call requires a string there. This change is also consistent with the one introduced in commit 0f03b1e9d2bef3bc830c31a369261af4c5234727 by Kostis Sagonas.

2010-06-04Support opening files in exclusive modeMichael Santos
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]).
2010-05-24Merge branch 'fm/file-operations' into devErlang/OTP
* 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.)
2010-05-20Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadviseFilipe 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.
2010-05-20Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents onlyFilipe David Manana
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.
