> - old kernel and glibc 2.latest will not have scalable aio_*() [...]
again, it's up to _us_ how well it scales. Look into glibc's sources. It
does something quite similar to your scheme. _If_ this glibc
implementation does not scale well, make it better. You are referring to
it as if the current implementation was something cast in stone ...
old kernels and other systems do not scale in many ways, i do not see your
problem is ...
the only possible showstopper is some API bug in the aio_*() interface,
which prevents a scalable implementation in theory. It is not an argument
that the current implementation is not scalable, and this is what i was
telling you from day 1 on ... it was just a humble suggestion to maybe
integrate your concept into the existing aio_*() interface, but just
forget about this suggestion, this is getting silly ...
