Title: System and method for efficiently transferring datastreams in a multimedia system
Inventor: MCNABB DANIEL LLOYD
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1997-11-28
Granted: 2000-04-11
Abstract: A general purpose interface is provided to a file system of a multimedia server for improving datastream throughput by avoiding data copying and context switching. The file system includes an export trgistration service profiding function pointers to the file system's implementation of a predefined set of zero copy interfaces. These interfaces include an initialization service to set up necessary data structures and to place use counts on objects to prevent them from being removed while zewo copy operations are in progress. A terminatio service in the zero copy interfaces cleans up data structures and removes use counts. Additional services validate that a specified file is suitable for zero copy operations, find and record file attributes needed to later acquire buffers at interrupt level. A data structure is defined to hold these attributes for subsequent calls. Another service locks a buffer at an interrupt level and returns the amount of data present, and provides addressability to the buffer in another address space context. A data structure holds these buffer attributes for subsequent calls. A service is additionally  provided to unlock the buffer at interrupt level. Finally, a service provides information on changes to the access pattern of the file such as would be needed to support VCR functions. A hash chain emplyoing a singly linked list updated atmically allows for safe buffer lookups at interrupt level. Compare-and-swap locking faciliates this. A mailbox interface useful at interrupt leve provides prefetch and release information to the daimon. In case of a lock collision or where the buffer is not available, the buffer is acquired in a process context.
