I've attached the latest patch. I didn't send it to Linus yet - it isn't really a bug fix, and there are a few open issures: * I still hope that zero-copy (actually single copy) is possible for PIPE_BUF (4096) byte transfers. Unfortunately that would be a user space visible change: void main() { int pipes[2]; pipe(pipes); write(pipes[1],buf,PIPE_BUF); } would block, every other Unix version I tested doesn't block. (or write(,,PIPE_BUF) after poll(POLLOUT) - I'm sure that there are apps where the O_NONBLOCK is missing) But since glibc by default uses 4096 byte writes it would speed up the transfers. * > 64 kB chunks * memory pressure. Not that important for 64 kB transfers, but required for larger buffers. I tested the patch with 2.4.1, and it compiles with 2.4.2-ac11. -- Manfred --------------A08979E30F91700447ACFE68 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="patch-kiopipe" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="patch-kiopipe" // $Header$ // Kernel Version: // VERSION = 2 // PATCHLEVEL = 4 // SUBLEVEL = 1 // EXTRAVERSION = --- 2.4/fs/pipe.c Wed Feb 7 20:02:07 2001 +++ build-2.4/fs/pipe.c Thu Feb 8 21:11:10 2001 @@ -2,6 +2,9 @@ * linux/fs/pipe.c * * Copyright (C) 1991, 1992, 1999 Linus Torvalds + * + * Major pipe_read() and pipe_write() cleanup, kiobuf based + * single copy Copyright (C) 2001 Manfred Spraul */ #include @@ -10,6 +13,8 @@ #include #include #include +#include +#include #include @@ -35,97 +40,149 @@ down(PIPE_SEM(*inode)); } +struct pipe_pio { + int *pdone; + struct kiobuf iobuf; +}; + +static int +pio_copy_to_user(struct kiobuf* iobuf, int offset, char* ubuf, int chars) +{ + int page_nr; + offset += iobuf->offset; + page_nr = offset/PAGE_SIZE; + offset %= PAGE_SIZE; + while(chars) { + int pcount = PAGE_SIZE-offset; + void *kaddr; + if (pcount > chars) + pcount = chars; + kaddr = kmap(iobuf->maplist[page_nr]); + if (copy_to_user(ubuf, kaddr+offset, pcount)) + return 1; + kunmap(iobuf->maplist[page_nr]); + chars -= pcount; + ubuf += pcount; + offset = 0; + page_nr++; + } + return 0; +} + static ssize_t pipe_read(struct file *filp, char *buf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos) { struct inode *inode = filp->f_dentry->d_inode; - ssize_t size, read, ret; + ssize_t read, ret; - /* Seeks are not allowed on pipes. */ - ret = -ESPIPE; - read = 0; + /* pread is not allowed on pipes. */ if (ppos != &filp->f_pos) - goto out_nolock; + return -ESPIPE; /* Always return 0 on null read. */ - ret = 0; if (count == 0) - goto out_nolock; + return 0; - /* Get the pipe semaphore */ - ret = -ERESTARTSYS; - if (down_interruptible(PIPE_SEM(*inode))) - goto out_nolock; + down(PIPE_SEM(*inode)); - if (PIPE_EMPTY(*inode)) { -do_more_read: + read = 0; + for (;;) { + /* read what data is available */ + int chars = PIPE_LEN(*inode); + if (chars) { + char *pipebuf = PIPE_BASE(*inode); + int offset = PIPE_START(*inode); + + if (chars > count) + chars = count; + ret = -EFAULT; + if(PIPE_IS_PIO(*inode)) { + struct pipe_pio* pio = ((struct pipe_pio*)pipebuf); + if(pio_copy_to_user(&pio->iobuf, offset, buf, chars)) + goto out; + + PIPE_LEN(*inode) -= chars; + if(!PIPE_LEN(*inode)) { + unmap_kiobuf(&pio->iobuf); + *pio->pdone = 1; + PIPE_IS_PIO(*inode) = 0; + PIPE_START(*inode) = 0; + } else { + PIPE_START(*inode) += chars; + } + } else { + if (chars > PIPE_SIZE-offset) + chars = PIPE_SIZE-offset; + if (copy_to_user(buf, pipebuf+offset, chars)) + goto out; + PIPE_LEN(*inode) -= chars; + if (!PIPE_LEN(*inode)) { + /* Cache behaviour optimization */ + PIPE_START(*inode) = 0; + } else { + PIPE_START(*inode) += chars; + PIPE_START(*inode) &= (PIPE_SIZE - 1); + } + } + read += chars; + count -= chars; + buf += chars; + } ret = 0; + if (!count) + goto out; + + /* Rare special case: + * The pipe buffer was really circular, + * the wrapped bytes must be read before sleeping. + */ + if (PIPE_LEN(*inode)) + continue; + + /* Never sleep if no process has the pipe open + * for writing */ if (!PIPE_WRITERS(*inode)) goto out; + /* Never sleep if O_NONBLOCK is set */ ret = -EAGAIN; if (filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) goto out; - for (;;) { - PIPE_WAITING_READERS(*inode)++; - pipe_wait(inode); - PIPE_WAITING_READERS(*inode)--; - ret = -ERESTARTSYS; - if (signal_pending(current)) - goto out; + /* optimization: + * pipe_read() should return even if only a single byte + * was read.
