39 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
40 constants.
41 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.

47
484.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
49 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
50 user-visible changes.
51 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
52
534.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
54 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
55
564.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
57 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
58 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
59 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
60 compatibility - I will never understand.
61
624.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
63 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
64 the stack after req_submit.
65 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
66 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
67 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
68 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
69 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
70 - (libecb) insignificant update.
71
724.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
73 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
74 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
75 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
76
774.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
78 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
79
804.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
81 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
82 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
83 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
84 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
85 as per unix spec.
86
874.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
88 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
89 it to malfunction for paths.
90 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
91 extents.
92 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
93 trash fiemap input arguments.
94 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
95 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
96 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
97 truncates segment count if a file.
98 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
99 to quick overview.
100 - splice can corrupt data.
101 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
102 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
103 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
104 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
105
1064.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
107 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
108 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
109 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
110 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
111 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
112 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
113
1144.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
115 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
116 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
117 - new request aio_seek.
118 - new request aio_fiemap.
119 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
120
1214.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
122 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
123 instead of -1.
124 - port to c89.
125
1264.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
127 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
128
1294.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
130 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
131 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
132 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
133 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
134 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
135 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
136 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
137 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
138 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
139 in aio_scandir and treescan.
140 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
141 - added --progress switch to treescan.
142
1434.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
144 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
145 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
146 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
147 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
148 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
149 a timeout occured at the same time.
150 - (libeio) added realpath.
151 - (libeio) added fallocate.
152 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
153 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
154 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
155
1563.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
157 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
158
1593.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
160 - ecb.h was missing.
161
1623.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
163 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
164 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
165 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
166 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
167 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
168 transferred...)
169 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
170 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
171 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
172 pthread and fork in perl.
173 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
174 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
175 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
176 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
177
1783.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
179 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
180 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
181 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
182 flags.
183
1843.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
185 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
186 - support a max_idle value of 0.
187 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
188
1893.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
190 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
191 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
192 - new treescan option: --grep.
193 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
194
1953.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
196 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
197 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
198 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
199 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
200 funcitonality. ugh.
201
2023.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
203 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
204 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
205 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
206 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
207 (openbsd 4.8).
208 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
209 had string-data.
210 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
211 them.
212 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
213 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
214 user-errors better.
215 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
216
2173.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
218 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
219 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
220 Rasmus Andersson).
221 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
222 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
223 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
224 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
225 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
226
2273.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
228 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
229 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
230 kernel sources.
231 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
232 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
233 - clean up manpage.
234
2353.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
236 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
237 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
238 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
239 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
240 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
241 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
242
2433.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
244 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
245 - clarify cancel_subs description.
246 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
247 from the sendfile call.
248 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
249 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
250
2513.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
252 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
253 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
254 hash lookups.
255
2563.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
257 - use common::sense.
258 - use common schmorp.h header.
259 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
260 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
261 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
262
2633.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
264 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
265
2663.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
267 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
268 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
269 way. might help other os's too.
270
2713.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
272 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
273 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
274 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
275 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
276 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
277 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
278 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
279 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
280 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
281 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
282 but should not have been.
283 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
284 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
285
2863.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
287 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
288 rushed 3.22 release.
289
2903.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
291 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
292 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
293
2943.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
295 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
296 - install bin/treescan by default.
297 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
298 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
299 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
300 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
301 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
302 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
303 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
304
3053.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
306 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
307 not restore the file offset.
308 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
309 the names in various ways.
310 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
311 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
312 process. no more!
313 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
314
3153.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
316 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
317 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
318 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
319
3203.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
321 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
322 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
323
3243.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
325 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
326 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
327
3283.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
329 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
330 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
331
3323.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
333 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
334 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
335 has added something to the group or not.
336
3373.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
338 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
339 and decreased memory usage.
340 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
341 but seems more correct.
342 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
343 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
344 requiring a thread switch.
345 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
346 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
347
3483.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
349 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
350
3513.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
352 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
353 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
354 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
355
3563.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
357 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
358 (sic!) versions.
359
3603.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
361 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
362 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
363 is stupid.
364 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
365 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
366 not to get initialised properly.
367
3683.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
369 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
370 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
371 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
372 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
373 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
374
3753.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
376 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
377 - bring back working fchmod.
378 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
379 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
380
3813.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
382 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
383 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
384 - do not try to link against -lrt.
385 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
386
3873.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
388 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
389 - switched to using libeio.
390 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
391 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
392 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
393 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
394
3952.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
396 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
397 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
398 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
399 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
400
4012.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
402 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
403 also display files given on the commandline.
404 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
405 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
406 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
407 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
408 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
409 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
410 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
411
4122.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
413 - added aio_sync.
414 - added aio_pathsync.
415 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
416
4172.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
418 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
419 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
420 (see the manpage for details).
421 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
422 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
423 - minor code cleanups.
424
4252.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
426 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
427 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
428 work sensibly for the very first time.
429
4302.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
431 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
432 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
433 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
434 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
435
4362.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
437 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
438 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
439 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
440 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
441 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
442 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
443 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
444 have a larger range then.
445 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
446 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
447 - readahead emulation now returns something.
448 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
449 (should never happen, though).
450 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
451 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
452 too many functions with crashing versions.
453
4542.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
455 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
456
4572.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
458 - added aio_rmtree.
459 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
460 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
461 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
462 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
463 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
464
4652.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
466 - added aio_load.
467
4682.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
469 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
470 or crashes.
471
4722.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
473 - minor doc updates.
474 - minor cleanups.
475 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
476 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
477
4782.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
479 - minor doc updates.
480 - added aio_readlink.
481 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
482 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
483 - reduced size of aio request structure.
484 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
485 do not leak request in that case, either.
486
4872.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
488 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
489 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
490 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
491 it would have to copy files manually.
492 - doc updates.
493 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
494 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
495 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
496 - some tuning applied to random places.
497 - add aio_mknod.
498
4992.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
500 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
501 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
502 - aio requests can be cancelled.
503 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
504 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
505 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
506 into composite requests.
507 - generator interface for groups.
508 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
509 - major documentation improvements.
510 - very minor bugfixes.
511 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
512 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
513 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
514 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
515 putting them onto the stack.
516 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
517 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
518 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
519 - warn about broken perl malloc.
520 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
521 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
522 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
523
5241.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
6 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move. 525 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
