Description Jordan Newman 2009-06-04 02:00:06 UTC 
Calling sendfile() with the SF_NODISKIO flag, will still block if the descriptor points to a file that is on an NFS mount.  In this situation I feel accessing data over the network should be considered "disk io" and it should return EBUSY.

This seems to happen on every version of FreeBSD, so I do not believe it to be a regression in FreeBSD 7.2 or a new bug.

How-To-Repeat: any sendfile call such as:

  sendfile(fd,clientsock,offset,sendsize,&sf,&cnt,SF_NODISKIO);

will still block while the NFS lookup occurs.
