GENERIC_FILE_AIO_WRI(9) Memory Management in Linux GENERIC_FILE_AIO_WRI(9)NAME
generic_file_aio_write - write data to a file
SYNOPSIS
ssize_t generic_file_aio_write(struct kiocb * iocb, const struct iovec * iov, unsigned long nr_segs, loff_t pos);
ARGUMENTS
iocb
IO state structure
iov
vector with data to write
nr_segs
number of segments in the vector
pos
position in file where to write
DESCRIPTION
This is a wrapper around __generic_file_aio_write to be used by most filesystems. It takes care of syncing the file in case of O_SYNC file
and acquires i_mutex as needed.

vmsplice - splice user pages into a pipe
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
ssize_t vmsplice(int fd, const struct iovec *iov,
unsigned long nr_segs, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The vmsplice() system call maps nr_segs ranges of user memory described by iov into a pipe. The file descriptor fd must refer to a pipe.
The pointer iov points to an array of iovec structures as defined in <sys/uio.h>:
struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* Starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* Number of bytes */
};
The flags argument is a bit mask that is composed by ORing together zero or more of the following values:
SPLICE_F_MOVE Unused for vmsplice(); see splice(2).
SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK Do not block on I/O; see splice(2) for further details.
SPLICE_F_MORE Currently has no effect for vmsplice(), but may be implemented in the future; see splice(2).
SPLICE_F_GIFT The user pages are a gift to the kernel. The application may not modify this memory ever, or page cache and on-disk
data may differ. Gifting pages to the kernel means that a subsequent splice(2) SPLICE_F_MOVE can successfully move the
pages; if this flag is not specified, then a subsequent splice(2) SPLICE_F_MOVE must copy the pages. Data must also be
properly page aligned, both in memory and length.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, vmsplice() returns the number of bytes transferred to the pipe. On error, vmsplice() returns -1 and errno is
set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF fd either not valid, or doesn't refer to a pipe.
EINVAL nr_segs is 0 or greater than IOV_MAX; or memory not aligned if SPLICE_F_GIFT set.
ENOMEM Out of memory.
VERSIONS
The vmsplice() system call first appeared in Linux 2.6.17; library support was added to glibc in version 2.5.
CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux-specific.
NOTES
vmsplice() follows the other vectorized read/write type functions when it comes to limitations on number of segments being passed in. This
limit is IOV_MAX as defined in <limits.h>. At the time of this writing, that limit is 1024.
