From 9b2ba0e5df123933210b18da17ec3ca2d5f5c41a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jhb Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:31:30 +0000 Subject: MFC 303164: Add more documentation regarding unsafe AIO requests. The asynchronous I/O changes made previously result in different behavior out of the box. Previously all AIO requests failed with ENOSYS / SIGSYS unless aio.ko was explicitly loaded. Now, some AIO requests complete and others ("unsafe" requests) fail with EOPNOTSUPP. Reword the introductory paragraph in aio(4) to add a general description of AIO before describing the vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl. Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_fsync(2), aio_read(2), and aio_write(2) and replace it with a description of EOPNOTSUPP. Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_mlock(2). Log a message to the system log the first time a process requests an "unsafe" AIO request that fails with EOPNOTSUPP. This is modeled on the log message used for processes using the legacy pty devices.
