io_uring_prep_timeout_update - prepare a request to update an
existing timeout
#include <liburing.h>
void io_uring_prep_timeout_update(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
struct __kernel_timespec *ts,
__u64 user_data,
unsigned flags);
void io_uring_prep_timeout_remove(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
__u64 user_data,
unsigned flags);
These functions modify or cancel an existing timeout request. The
submission queue entry sqe is setup to arm a timeout update or
removal specified by user_data and with modifier flags given by
flags. Additionally, the update request includes a ts structure,
which contains new timeout information.
For an update request, the flags member may contain a bitmask of
the following values:
IORING_TIMEOUT_ABS
The value specified in ts is an absolute value rather than
a relative one.
IORING_TIMEOUT_BOOTTIME
The boottime clock source should be used.
IORING_TIMEOUT_REALTIME
The realtime clock source should be used.
IORING_TIMEOUT_ETIME_SUCCESS
Consider an expired timeout a success in terms of the
posted completion. Normally a timeout that triggers would
return in a -ETIME CQE res value.
The timeout remove command does not currently accept any flags.
None
These are the errors that are reported in the CQE res field. On
success, 0 is returned.
-ENOENT
The timeout identified by user_data could not be found. It
may be invalid, or triggered before the update or removal
request was processed.
-EALREADY
The timeout identified by user_data is already firing and
cannot be canceled.
-EINVAL
One of the fields set in the SQE was invalid. For example,
two clocksources were given, or the specified timeout
seconds or nanoseconds were < 0.
-EFAULT
io_uring was unable to access the data specified by ts.
As with any request that passes in data in a struct, that data
must remain valid until the request has been successfully
submitted. It need not remain valid until completion. Once a
request has been submitted, the in-kernel state is stable. Very
early kernels (5.4 and earlier) required state to be stable until
the completion occurred. Applications can test for this behavior
by inspecting the IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE flag passed back from
io_uring_queue_init_params(3).
