* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module * Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes. On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing. When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better. For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to be able to set the pipe size. The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior. |
