42
43 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
44
454.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
46 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
47 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
48 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
49 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
50 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
51 as noinline.
52 - documentation fixes and updates.
53 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
54
554.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
56 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
57 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
58
594.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
60 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
61 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
62 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
63 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
64 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
65 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
66 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
67 were detected by autoconf.
68
694.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
70 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
71 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
72 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
73 for birthtimes).
74 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
75 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
76 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
77 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
78 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
79 - minor doc improvements.
80 - minor configure cleanups.
81 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
82 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
83
844.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
85 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
86 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
87 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
88 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
89
904.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
91 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
92 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
93
944.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
95 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
96
974.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
98 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
99 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
100 environment, not the standard system environment.
101 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
102 stat functions.
103 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
104 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
105
1064.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
107 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
108 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
109 and MREMAP_FIXED.
110 - add O_ACCMODE.
111 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
112
1134.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
114 - new aio_slurp request.
115 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
116 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
117 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
118 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
119 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
120 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
121 (see aio_ioctl docs).
122 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
123 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
124 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
125 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
126 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
127 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
128 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
129 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
130 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
131 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
132 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
133 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
134 and better eventfd detection.
135
1364.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
137 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
138 compile errors on various platforms.
139 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
140 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
141 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
142 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
143 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
144 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
145
1464.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
147 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
148 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
149 constants.
150 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
151 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
152 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
153 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
154 - update libecb.
155 - added stability canary support.
156 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
157
1584.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
159 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
160 user-visible changes.
161 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
162
1634.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
164 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
165
1664.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
167 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
168 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
169 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
170 compatibility - I will never understand.
171
1724.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
173 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
174 the stack after req_submit.
175 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
176 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
177 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
178 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
179 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
180 - (libecb) insignificant update.
181
1824.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
183 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
184 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
185 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
186
1874.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
188 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
189
1904.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
191 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
192 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
193 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
194 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
195 as per unix spec.
196
1974.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
198 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
199 it to malfunction for paths.
200 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
201 extents.
202 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
203 trash fiemap input arguments.
204 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
205 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
206 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
207 truncates segment count if a file.
208 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
209 to quick overview.
210 - splice can corrupt data.
211 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
212 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
213 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
214 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
215
2164.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
217 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
218 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
219 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
220 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
221 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
222 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
223
2244.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
225 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
226 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
227 - new request aio_seek.
228 - new request aio_fiemap.
229 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
230
2314.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
232 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
233 instead of -1.
234 - port to c89.
235
2364.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
237 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
238
2394.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
240 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
241 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
242 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
243 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
244 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
245 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
246 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
247 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
248 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
249 in aio_scandir and treescan.
250 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
251 - added --progress switch to treescan.
252
2534.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
254 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
255 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
256 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
257 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
258 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
259 a timeout occured at the same time.
260 - (libeio) added realpath.
261 - (libeio) added fallocate.
262 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
263 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
264 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
265
2663.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
267 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
268
2693.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
270 - ecb.h was missing.
271
2723.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
273 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
274 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
275 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
276 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
277 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
278 transferred...)
279 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
280 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
281 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
282 pthread and fork in perl.
283 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
284 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
285 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
286 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
287
2883.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
289 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
290 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
291 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
292 flags.
293
2943.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
295 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
296 - support a max_idle value of 0.
297 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
298
2993.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
300 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
301 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
302 - new treescan option: --grep.
303 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
304
3053.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
306 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
307 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
308 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
309 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
310 funcitonality. ugh.
311
3123.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
313 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
314 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
315 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
316 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
317 (openbsd 4.8).
318 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
319 had string-data.
320 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
321 them.
322 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
323 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
324 user-errors better.
325 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
326
3273.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
328 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
329 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
330 Rasmus Andersson).
331 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
332 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
333 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
334 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
335 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
336
3373.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by 338 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual 339 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources. 340 kernel sources.
341 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
14 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support. 342 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
