Subject: Short read handling inconsistency for IOSQE_IO_LINK
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2020 09:37:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi all,

Short read of IORING_OP_READ in a link chain is considered an error, because it
will break READ-WRITE chain, which is good.

The problems are:

1. Short read of IORING_OP_RECV in a link chain is *NOT* considered an error,
which is odd and not consistant with IORING_OP_READ. Is it a bug or by design?

2. Short read of IORING_OP_SPLICE in a link chain is considered an error. It is
consistant with IORING_OP_READ, but not very useful because the link
   1) splice(fd1, NULL, pfd1, NULL, -1, 0)
   2) splice(pfd2, NULL, fd2, NULL, -1, 0)
is a valid operation since the kernel knows how much data can be read in a pipe.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Carter
