The submission queue entry +.I sqe +is setup to use the directory file descriptor pointed to by +.I dirfd +to start a statx operation on the path identified by +.I path +and using the flags given in +.I flags +for the fields specified by +.I mask +and into the buffer located at +.IR statxbuf . + +This function prepares an async +.BR statx (2) +request. See that man page for details. + +.SH RETURN VALUE +None +.SH ERRORS +The CQE +.I res +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 +.B -1 +on failure and set +.I errno +to the actual error value, io_uring never uses +.IR errno . +Instead it returns the negated +.I errno +directly in the CQE +.I res +field. +.SH NOTES +As with any request that passes in data in a struct, that data must remain +valid until the request has been successfully submitted. It need not remain +valid until completion. Once a request has been submitted, the in-kernel +state is stable. Very early kernels (5.4 and earlier) required state to be +stable until the completion occurred. Applications can test for this +behavior by inspecting the +.B IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE +flag passed back from +.BR io_uring_queue_init_params (3). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR io_uring_get_sqe (3), +.BR io_uring_submit (3), +.BR statx (2) |
