oops, you can find the preliminary kblob diffs over here: http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/kblob/kblob-final.diff It's a new syscall, less overhead than sendfile and useful for serving small chunks of data very quickly. /* * returns an fd to be used with kblobsend, preloads len of *addr into * the kernel to be sent out */ int kblob __P((int len, void *addr)); /* * see sendfile(2), but instead of the fd referencing a vnode it * references a fd returned from kblob */ int kblobsend __P((int, int, off_t, size_t, struct sf_hdtr *, off_t *, int)); questions comments flames? For the bike shed angle, I'm not particularly fond of the name 'kblob', any suggestions? -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
