---help---
|
||||
The AIO containers hold an AIO control block and appends information
|
||||
needed by the logic running within the RTOS. These structures are
|
||||
pre-allocated, the number pre-allocated controlled by this setting.
|
||||
|
||||
This setting controls the number of asynchronous I/O operations that
|
||||
can be queued at one time. When this count is exhausted, the caller
|
||||
of aio_read(), aio_write(), or aio_fsync() will be forced to wait
|
||||
for an available container. That wait is minimized because each
|
||||
container is released prior to starting the next I/O.
|
||||
|
||||
The AIO logic includes priority inheritance logic to prevent
|
||||
priority inversion problems: The priority of the low-priority work
|
||||
queue will be boosted, if necessary, to level of the waiting thread.
