This seems like an unfortunate limitation to me... As sendfile is now using splice, it means every process can only have one sendfile going at a given time? I hope I just misunderstood something... Think about web servers with possibly hundreds of threads all wanting to do sendfile.

tee() with your splice()? Posted May 10, 2006 17:56 UTC (Wed) by nevyn (subscriber, #33129) [Link] The task struct is for tasks, not processes. The article was misleading. A thread is a task, as is a process. So each thread/process can only have one sendfile() running at once (which is basically how it is now -- at least I'm assuming they don't mean one sendfile over all open fds, which would make it worthless).
