As an alternative, you can bypass the cache and do direct async IO to the disk with zero copies. IIRC, this is supported on linux with the O_DIRECT flag. Doing this though, means that you will need to handle caching yourself, which might not be such a good idea. Does Linux not support O_DIRECT on sockets?
Can you not just set the socket to non-blocking using O_NONBLOCK? -- Brian Akins Lead Systems Engineer CNN Internet Technologies
