From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Current writev() of pipe/fifo can be interleaved with data from other processes doing writes even when the requests size is <= PIPE_BUF. These writes should in fact be atomic. The readv() side is also supported for same behavior with read(). And it is faster. readv/writev version of bw_pipe in LMbench 2.6.0-test9-bk12 hirofumi@devron (i686-pc-linux-gnu)[1010]$ ./bw_pipe -m 4096 -M 5 Pipe bandwidth: 45.53 MB/sec hirofumi@devron (i686-pc-linux-gnu)[1009]$ ./bw_pipe -m 1024 -M 5 Pipe bandwidth: 20.08 MB/sec 2.6.0-test9-bk12 + patch hirofumi@devron (i686-pc-linux-gnu)[1001]$ ./bw_pipe -m 4096 -M 5 Pipe bandwidth: 65.98 MB/sec hirofumi@devron (i686-pc-linux-gnu)[1002]$ ./bw_pipe -m 1024 -M 5 Pipe bandwidth: 32.19 MB/sec
