io_uring_prep_futex_waitv(3) liburing Manualio_uring_prep_futex_waitv(3)io_uring_prep_futex_waitv - prepare a futex waitv request
#include <linux/futex.h>#include <unistd.h>#include <liburing.h>void io_uring_prep_futex_waitv(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,struct futex_waitv *futexv,uint32_tnr_futex,unsigned intflags);
Theio_uring_prep_futex_waitv(3) function prepares a futex wait request for multiple futexes at the same time. The submission queue entrysqe is setup for waiting on all futexes given byfutexv andnr_futex is the number of futexes in that array.flags must be set to the io_uring specific futex flags. Unlikeio_uring_prep_futex_wait(3), the desired bitset mask and values are passed infutexv.flags are currently unused and hence0must be passed. This function prepares an asyncfutex(2) waitv request. See that man page for details. Available since kernel 6.7.
None
The CQEres field will contain the result of the operation. See the related man page for details on possible values. Note that where synchronous system calls will return-1on failure and seterrno to the actual error value, io_uring never useserrno. Instead it returns the negatederrno directly in the CQEres field.
Unlike the sync futex syscalls that wait on a futex, io_uring does not support passing in a timeout for the request. Instead, applications are encouraged to use a linked timeout to abort the futex request at a given time, if desired.
