When attempting a read, the high 16 bits are used to provide a read-ahead hint (in units of filesystem blocks) that the filesystem should attempt. The low 16 bits are a bit mask which can contain the following flags: .Bl -tag -width ".Dv IO_NODELOCKED" .It Dv IO_UNIT do I/O as atomic unit .It Dv IO_APPEND append write to end .It Dv IO_SYNC do I/O synchronously .It Dv IO_NODELOCKED underlying node already locked .It Dv IO_NDELAY .Dv FNDELAY flag set in file table .It Dv IO_VMIO data already in VMIO space .El .Sh LOCKS The file should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit. .Sh RETURN VALUES Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned. .Sh PSEUDOCODE .Bd -literal int vop_read(struct vnode *vp, struct uio *uio, int ioflag, struct ucred *cred) { struct buf *bp; off_t bytesinfile; daddr_t lbn, nextlbn; long size, xfersize, blkoffset; int error; size = block size of filesystem; for (error = 0, bp = NULL; uio->uio_resid > 0; bp = NULL) { bytesinfile = size of file - uio->uio_offset; if (bytesinfile <= 0) break; lbn = uio->uio_offset / size; blkoffset = uio->uio_offset - lbn * size; xfersize = size - blkoffset; if (uio->uio_resid < xfersize) xfersize = uio->uio_resid; if (bytesinfile < xfersize) xfersize = bytesinfile; error = bread(vp, lbn, size, NOCRED, &bp); if (error) { brelse(bp); bp = NULL; break; } /* * We should only get non-zero b_resid when an I/O error * has occurred, which should cause us to break above. * However, if the short read did not cause an error, * then we want to ensure that we do not uiomove bad * or uninitialized data. */ size -= bp->b_resid; if (size < xfersize) { if (size == 0) break; xfersize = size; } error = uiomove((char *)bp->b_data + blkoffset, (int)xfersize, uio); if (error) break; bqrelse(bp); } if (bp != NULL) bqrelse(bp); return error; } int vop_write(struct vnode *vp, struct uio *uio, int ioflag, struct ucred *cred) { struct buf *bp; off_t bytesinfile; daddr_t lbn, nextlbn; off_t osize; long size, resid, xfersize, blkoffset; int flags; int error; osize = size of file; size = block size of filesystem; resid = uio->uio_resid; if (ioflag & IO_SYNC) flags = B_SYNC; else flags = 0; for (error = 0; uio->uio_resid > 0;) { lbn = uio->uio_offset / size; blkoffset = uio->uio_offset - lbn * size; xfersize = size - blkoffset; if (uio->uio_resid < xfersize) xfersize = uio->uio_resid; if (uio->uio_offset + xfersize > size of file) vnode_pager_setsize(vp, uio->uio_offset + xfersize); if (size > xfersize) flags |= B_CLRBUF; else flags &= ~B_CLRBUF; error = find_block_in_file(vp, lbn, blkoffset + xfersize, cred, &bp, flags); if (error) break; if (uio->uio_offset + xfersize > size of file) set size of file to uio->uio_offset + xfersize; error = uiomove((char *)bp->b_data + blkoffset, (int) xfersize, uio); /* XXX ufs does not check the error here.
