io_setup
Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”long io_setup(unsigned int nr_reqs, aio_context_t *ctx);| Number (x86-64) | 206 |
| ABI | 64 |
| Kernel entry point | sys_io_setup |
This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.
Description
Section titled “Description”Creates a Linux AIO context that can hold a given number of requests.
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
nr_reqs (arg0) |
unsigned int |
Number of requests. |
ctx (arg1) |
aio_context_t * |
AIO or io_uring context handle. |
Return value
Section titled “Return value”On success: 0.
In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.
Common errors
Section titled “Common errors”| Raw return | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
-11 |
EAGAIN |
The call would block, or a resource is temporarily unavailable. |
-22 |
EINVAL |
An argument is invalid. |
-12 |
ENOMEM |
The kernel is out of memory. |
Man page
Section titled “Man page”Captured by Antinomie
Section titled “Captured by Antinomie”Coverage mark: Implemented. Every pointer argument has a capture rule in the pinned kernel patch and none of them records a “no decoder”, “address only” or “not observed” gap on any code path. Individual values can still be incomplete on a particular call; see the capture statuses.
Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Argument | When | How | Recorded field key | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
nr_reqs (arg0) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.0, args.nr_reqs |
|
ctx (arg1) |
Entry | the pointer itself, as a raw word | args.1, args.raw[1] |
|
| ↳ pointee | Entry and exit | aio_context_t (8 bytes) |
arg1.context_id |
at entry the value the program passed; at exit only when result is 0 (the new handle) |
Filter fields
Section titled “Filter fields”- Result:
ret,syscall.errno,syscall.success,syscall.duration_ns. - Argument words:
args.nr_reqs(arg0),args.ctx(arg1);args.0toargs.5by position.
