Hello,
I'm seeing a problem in my codes where I have many clients using the multiplexer with nonblocking i/o all connected to a master process also using the multiplexer and nonblocking i/o and the master process only wants to serve one client for a very long time, then switch to another, and serve it a very long time. Meanwhile everyone is ready for work and should be marked as ready in the file descriptor set.
This makes me wonder, is IOLib using EPOLLET to do edge triggered I/O in the linux backend? If so, I think that's not what most people will want since if data is left in the input/output buffers due to a short read/write, you'll never be notified of stuff left there. I want level triggered I/O to force pumping of the data regardless of what happens.
Is there a means in IOLib I can control the edge/levelness of the backend?
Thank you.
