| Summary | 0000317: aio_write append | ||||
| Description | The aio_write() description states: "If O_APPEND is set for the file descriptor, write operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were made." which appears to require strict ordering in all circumstances. However, this conflicts with section 2.8.2 which states (line 1714): "If O_APPEND is set for the file descriptor, or if aio_fildes is associated with a device that is incapable of seeking, write operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were made, with the following exception: under implementation-defined circumstances, such as operation on a multi-processor or when requests of differing priorities are submitted at the same time, the ordering restriction may be relaxed." The aio_write() description should be updated to match 2.8.2 (preferably by means of a reference to 2.8.2 rather than duplication). | ||||
| Desired Action | "If O_APPEND is set for the file descriptor, write operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were made." to "If O_APPEND is set for the file descriptor, or if aio_fildes is associated with a device that is incapable of seeking, write operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were made, except under circumstances described in [xref to 2.8.2]." | ||||
