io_uring_su...ait_timeout(3) liburing Manual io_uring_su...ait_timeout(3)
io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout - submit requests to the
submission queue and wait for the completion with timeout
#include <liburing.h>
int io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(struct io_uring *ring,
struct io_uring_cqe **cqe_ptr,
unsigned wait_nr,
struct __kernel_timespec *ts,
sigset_t *sigmask);
The io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(3) function submits the next
requests from the submission queue belonging to the ring and waits
for wait_nr completion events, or until the timeout ts expires.
The completion events are stored in the cqe_ptr array.
The sigmask specifies the set of signals to block. If set, it is
equivalent to atomically executing the following calls:
sigset_t origmask;
pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigmask, &origmask);
ret = io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(ring, cqe, wait_nr, ts, NULL);
pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &origmask, NULL);
After the caller retrieves a submission queue entry (SQE) with
io_uring_get_sqe(3) and prepares the SQE, it can be submitted with
io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(3).
Ideally used with a ring setup with
IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER|IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN as that will
greatly reduce the number of context switches that an application
will see waiting on multiple requests.
On success io_uring_submit_and_wait_timeout(3) returns the number
of submitted submission queue entries. On failure it returns
-errno. Note that in earlier versions of the liburing library,
the return value was 0 on success. The most common failure case
is not receiving a completion within the specified timeout, -ETIME
is returned in this case.
