Also notice that reply_getatr() only does the parsing of the request, and does not do the reply generation. That is done by the _send() function. -The only missing piece in the Samba4 right now that prevents it being -fully async is that it currently does the low level socket calls (read -and write on sockets) in a blocking fashion. It does use select() to -make it somewhat async, but if a client were to send a partial packet -then delay before sending the rest then smbd would be stuck waiting -for the second half of the packet. - -To fix this I plan on making the socket calls async as well, which -luckily will not involve any API changes in the core of smbd or the -library. It just involves a little bit of extra code in clitransport.c -and smbd/request.c. As a side effect I hope that this will also reduce -the average number of system calls required to answer a request, so we -may see a performance improvement. - NTVFS ----- |
