Latest commit

smgrreadv() and smgrwritev() and their md.c implementations call
FileReadV() and FileWriteV().  A range of disk blocks beginning at
'blocknum' and extending for 'nblocks' can be scattered to or gathered
from multiple buffers with a single system call.  The traditional
smgrread() and smgrwrite() functions are implemented in terms of the new
functions.

Later commits will introduce calls with nblocks > 1, but the following
behavioral changes can be seen already:

* After a short transfer we'll now retry until we eventually read 0
  bytes (= EOF) or get ENOSPC, EDQUOT, EFBIG etc, where previously we
  would infer the reason.  Retrying is consistent with xlog.c's
  treatment of large WAL writes, and arguably also xlog.c and fd.c's
  treatment of EINTR.  Arbitrary short returns for larger transfers have
  been observed on several OSes, and might in theory also happen for
  transient reasons with our own pg_p*v() fallback code.

* After unexpected EOF or -1, the error thrown now talks about
  a range even for the single block case, eg "blocks 42..42".

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software, and related software, may be
obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information
look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
