摘要： An apparatus and method for an improved bulk read socket call are provided. With the apparatus and method, a new field, so_rcvlen, is added to the socket structure that identifies the bulk read size requested by the user. The kernel of the prior art recv( ) function is also modified so that it sets the so_rcvlen to the size requested by the user prior to the recv( ) function going to sleep and waiting for the full data size requested by the user. A new flag, SP_MSGWAITALL, is also provided in the socket structure. In the TCP input processing, when data is received for a particular socket, the current setting of the SP_MSGWAITALL is checked. If the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is set, it is determined whether the amount of data stored in the socket receive buffer is less than the value of so_rcvlen. If not, the TCP input processing does not wake up the recv( ) thread. However, for every alternate segment, the TCP input processing sends back an acknowledgment (ACK). In the TCP output processing, when the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is set and the amount of data in the socket receive buffer is less than so_rcvlen, the full window is advertised. Once the TCP input processing determines that there is at least an amount of data in the socket receive buffer equal to the value of so_rcvlen, the TCP input processing will wake up the recv( ) thread and the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is reset.

摘要： An improved method in a data processing system for forwarding network file system requests and responses between network segments. A notice is received that data has arrived at a receive buffer for a socket. The receive buffer is connected for the socket and a send buffer for another socket to form a splice. Both the socket and the other socket are flagged as a spliced connection.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for scheduling threads in a multiprocessor computer. Embodiments include selecting a thread in a ready queue to be dispatched to a processor and determining whether an interrupt mask flag is set in a thread control block associated with the thread. If the interrupt mask flag is set in the thread control block associated with the thread, embodiments typically include selecting a processor, setting a current processor priority register of the selected processor to least favored, and dispatching the thread from the ready queue to the selected processor. In some embodiments, setting the current processor priority register of the selected processor to least favored is carried out by storing a value associated with the highest interrupt priority in the current processor priority register.

摘要： The present invention provides a system, method, and computer program product that enables application instances to pass block mode storage requests directly to a physical I/O adapter without run-time involvement from the local operating system or hypervisor. Specifically, a mechanism for providing and using a linear block address (LBA) translation protection table (TPT) to control out of user space I/O operations is provided. In one aspect of the present invention, the LBATPT includes an adapter protection table that has entries for each portion of a storage device. Entries include access control values which identify whether the entry is valid and what access type operations may be performed on a corresponding portion of a storage device. I/O requests may be checked against these access control values to determine if an application instance that submitted the I/O requests may access the LBAs identified in the I/O requests in the manner requested.

摘要： A system, method, and computer program product that enables user space middleware or applications to pass file name based storage requests directly to a physical I/O Adapter without run-time involvement from the local Operating System (OS) are provided. A mechanism is provided for using a file protection table (FPT) data structure, which may include a file name protection table (FNPT) and file extension protection table (FEPT), to control user space and out of user space Input/Output (I/O) operations. The FNPT has an entry for each file managed by the OS′ file system and points to a segment of the FEPT. Each entry in the FEPT may include a protection domain, along with other protection table context information, against which I/O requests may be checked to determine if an application instance that submitted the I/O requests may access the file identified in the I/O requests.

摘要： The present invention provides a system, method, and computer program product that enables application instances to pass block mode storage requests directly to a physical I/O adapter without run-time involvement from the local operating system or hypervisor. In one aspect of the present invention, a mechanism is provided for determining whether a user space operation is a resource management operation of a work processing operation. If the user space operation is a resource management operation, appropriate functions are performed to either query, create, modify or destroy resource allocations in the I/O adapter. If the user space operation is a work processing operation, appropriate functions are performed to either create work queue entries and inform the I/O adapter of the work queue entries or to retrieve completion queue entries for work queue entries whose processing has been completed by the I/O adapter.

摘要： The present invention provides a system, method, and computer program product that enables user space middleware or applications to pass block mode storage requests directly to a physical I/O Adapter without run-time involvement from the local Operating System (OS), or, in a virtual system, the local Hypervisor. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanism for providing and using a linear block address (LBA) translation protection table (TPT) to control user space and out of user space Input/Output (I/O) operations. In one aspect of the present invention, the LBATPT includes an adapter protection table that has entries for each portion of a storage device. Each entry may include a key instance and protection domain, along with other protection table context information, against which I/O requests may be checked to determine if an application instance that submitted the I/O requests may access the LBAs identified in the I/O requests.

摘要： A system, method, and computer program product that enables user space middleware or applications to pass I/O storage requests directly to a network attached storage device via a storage server that performs authentication are provided. A mechanism is provided for using a translation protection table (TPT) data structure, which may include a file name protection table (FNPT) and file extension protection table (FEPT), or logical volume protection table (LVPT), to control user space and out of user space Input/Output (I/O) operations. The storage server performs authentication of an application instance's request to open an operating system logical volume and, upon being authenticated, permits the application instance to submit I/O storage requests via the TPT to the opened OS logical volume. I/O storage requests are translated into storage commands using the TPT and the storage commands are encapsulated for transmission via one or more networks to the storage server.
