Hi, I am running a -CURRENT system. I had some code that was calling aio_suspend(), and was setting errno to EINVAL. From the man page for aio_suspend: [EINVAL] iocbs contains more than AIO_LISTIO_MAX asynchronous I/O requests, or at least one of the requests is not valid. I reduced my list of I/O requests to AIO_LISTIO_MAX -1, and I did not got EINVAL any more. My question is, why are the following values different? The following program: #include <aio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv) { printf("%d\n", AIO_LISTIO_MAX); printf("%d\n", sysconf(_SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX)); } will print: 16 -1 sysctl -a | grep aio will return: vfs.aio.max_aio_procs: 32 vfs.aio.num_aio_procs: 4 vfs.aio.target_aio_procs: 4 vfs.aio.max_aio_queue: 1024 vfs.aio.num_queue_count: 0 vfs.aio.num_buf_aio: 0 vfs.aio.aiod_timeout: 1000 vfs.aio.aiod_lifetime: 3000 vfs.aio.unloadable: 0 vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc: 32 vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc: 256 vfs.aio.max_buf_aio: 16 p1003_1b.aio_listio_max: 0 p1003_1b.aio_max: 0 p1003_1b.aio_prio_delta_max: 0 How can I get sysconf(_SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX) to return something sensible, ie. where would I need to look in order to patch the system?
