The simple_transaction interface is slow. It requires 4 syscalls (open, write, read, close) per query and shares a single lock for each queries. So replace its use with a compatible in multi_transaction interface. It allows for a faster 2 syscall pattern per query. After an initial open, an arbitrary number of writes and reads can be issued. Each write will reset the query with new data that can be read. Reads do not clear the data, and can be issued multiple times, and used with seek, until a new write is performed which will reset the data available and the seek position. Note: this keeps the single lock design, if needed moving to a per file lock will have to come later. Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
