io_uring_prep_recv(3) liburing Manual io_uring_prep_recv(3)
io_uring_prep_recv - prepare a recv request
#include <liburing.h>
void io_uring_prep_recv(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
int sockfd,
void *buf,
size_t len,
int flags);
void io_uring_prep_recv_multishot(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
int sockfd,
void *buf,
size_t len,
int flags);
The io_uring_prep_recv(3) function prepares a recv request. The
submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor
sockfd to start receiving the data into the destination buffer buf
of size len and with modifier flags flags.
This function prepares an async recv(2) request. See that man page
for details on the arguments specified to this prep helper.
The multishot version allows the application to issue a single
receive request, which repeatedly posts a CQE when data is
available. It requires length to be 0, the IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT
flag to be set and no MSG_WAITALL flag to be set. Therefore each
CQE will take a buffer out of a provided buffer pool for
receiving. The application should check the flags of each CQE,
regardless of its result. If a posted CQE does not have the
IORING_CQE_F_MORE flag set then the multishot receive will be done
and the application should issue a new request. Multishot
variants are available since kernel 6.0.
After calling this function, additional io_uring internal modifier
flags may be set in the SQE ioprio field. The following flags are
supported:
IORING_RECVSEND_POLL_FIRST
If set, io_uring will assume the socket is currently empty
and attempting to receive data will be unsuccessful. For
this case, io_uring will arm internal poll and trigger a
receive of the data when the socket has data to be read.
This initial receive attempt can be wasteful for the case
where the socket is expected to be empty, setting this flag
will bypass the initial receive attempt and go straight to
arming poll. If poll does indicate that data is ready to be
received, the operation will proceed.
Can be used with the CQE IORING_CQE_F_SOCK_NONEMPTY flag,
which io_uring will set on CQEs after a recv(2) or
recvmsg(2) operation. If set, the socket still had data to
be read after the operation completed. Both these flags are
available since 5.19.
IORING_RECVSEND_BUNDLE
If set and provided buffers are used with
IOSQE_BUFFER_SELECT , the receive operation will attempt to
fill multiple buffers with rather than just pick a single
buffer to fill. To receive multiple buffers in a single
receive, the buffer group ID set in the SQE must be of the
ring provided type. If set, the CQE res field indicates
the total number of bytes received, and the buffer ID
returned in the CQE flags field indicates the first buffer
in the receive operation. The application must iterate from
the indicated initial buffer ID and until all res bytes
have been seen to know which is the last buffer in the
receive operation. The buffer IDs consumed will be
contiguous from the starting ID, in the order in which they
were added to the buffer ring used. Receiving in bundles
can improve performance when more than one chunk of data is
available to receive, by eliminating redundant round trips
through the networking stack. Receive bundles may be used
by both single shot and multishot receive operations. Note
that, internally, bundles rely on the networking stack
passing back how much data is left in the socket after the
initial receive. This means that the initial receive may
contain less buffers than what is available, with the
followup receive(s) containing more buffers. Available
since 6.10.
None
The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
field.
