12 49
50 - work around a bug in musl w.r.t to O_SEARCH and use EIO_O_PATH instead,
51 vertifying the semantics against the subset of O_PATH and O_SEARCH
52 (based on a report by Steve Dondley).
53 - aio_copy now tries to preallocate the destination file.
54 - fexecve configure test used the wrong pĆ¼ointer type (patch by Paul Howarth).
55
564.80 Sat 01 Apr 2023 04:13:37 CEST
57 - remove long obsolete "paths must be absolute" text in aio_open/stat
58 descriptions.
59 - another workaround for the low-quality musl libc.
60 - test for umount seperately, as it is more portable.
61 - some low-quality posix attempts (openbsd, osx) declare the availability
62 of fexecve but then don't even bother to implemnent a stub.
63
644.79 Sun 25 Sep 2022 18:25:53 CEST
65 - the autoconf result of the mount check was not used, so it failed to
66 compile on most systems (reported by crackoff@tutanota.com).
67 - work around fedora not having a working C compiler setup by design
68 (reported by Paul Howarth).
69
704.78 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:54:43 CEST
71 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
72 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
73
744.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
75 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
76 - add fexecve.
77 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
78
794.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
80 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
81 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
82 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
83 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
84 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
85 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
86
874.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
88 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
89 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
90 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
91
924.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
93 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
94 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
95 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
96 arguments could cause it to crash.
97 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
98 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
99
1004.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
101 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
102 (reported by B Fraser).
103 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
104 64 bit values.
105 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
106 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
107 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
108 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
109 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
110
1114.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
112 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
113 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
114 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
115 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
116 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
117 as noinline.
118 - documentation fixes and updates.
119 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
120
1214.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
122 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
123 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
124
1254.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
126 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
127 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
128 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
129 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
130 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
131 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
132 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
133 were detected by autoconf.
134
1354.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
136 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
137 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
138 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
139 for birthtimes).
140 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
141 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
142 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
143 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
144 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
145 - minor doc improvements.
146 - minor configure cleanups.
147 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
148 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
149
1504.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
151 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
152 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
153 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
154 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
155
1564.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
157 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
158 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
159
1604.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
161 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
162
1634.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
164 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
165 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
166 environment, not the standard system environment.
167 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
168 stat functions.
169 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
170 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
171
1724.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
173 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
174 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
175 and MREMAP_FIXED.
176 - add O_ACCMODE.
177 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
178
1794.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
180 - new aio_slurp request.
181 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
182 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
183 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
184 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
185 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
186 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
187 (see aio_ioctl docs).
188 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
189 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
190 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
191 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
192 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
193 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
194 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
195 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
196 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
197 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
198 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
199 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
200 and better eventfd detection.
201
2024.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
203 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
204 compile errors on various platforms.
205 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
206 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
207 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
208 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
209 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
210 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
211
2124.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
213 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
214 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
215 constants.
216 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
217 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
218 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
219 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
220 - update libecb.
221 - added stability canary support.
222 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
223
2244.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
225 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
226 user-visible changes.
227 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
228
2294.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
230 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
231
2324.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
233 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
234 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
235 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
236 compatibility - I will never understand.
237
2384.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
239 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
240 the stack after req_submit.
241 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
242 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
243 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
244 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
245 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
246 - (libecb) insignificant update.

249 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
250 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
251 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
252
2534.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
254 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
255
2564.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
257 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
258 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
259 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
260 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
261 as per unix spec.
262
2634.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
264 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
265 it to malfunction for paths.
266 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
267 extents.
268 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
269 trash fiemap input arguments.
270 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
271 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
272 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
273 truncates segment count if a file.
274 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
275 to quick overview.
276 - splice can corrupt data.
277 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
278 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

281
2824.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
283 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
284 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
285 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
286 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
287 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
288 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
289
2904.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
291 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.

296
2974.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
298 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
299 instead of -1.
300 - port to c89.
301
3024.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
303 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
304
3054.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
306 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
307 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
308 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
309 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
310 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
311 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
312 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
313 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
314 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
315 in aio_scandir and treescan.
316 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
317 - added --progress switch to treescan.
318
3194.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
320 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
321 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
322 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
323 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
324 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
325 a timeout occured at the same time.
326 - (libeio) added realpath.
327 - (libeio) added fallocate.
328 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
329 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
330 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
331
3323.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
333 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
334
3353.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
336 - ecb.h was missing.
337
3383.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
339 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
340 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
341 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
342 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
343 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
344 transferred...)
345 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
346 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
347 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
348 pthread and fork in perl.
349 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
350 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
351 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
352 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
353
3543.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
355 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags

13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock. 366 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
367 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
14 - new treescan option: --grep. 368 - new treescan option: --grep.
369 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".

163.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010 3713.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
17 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify 372 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
18 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags. 373 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
19 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines 374 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
