No, sendfile is not necessarily non-blocking (note the difference between async and non-blocking IO), it still blocks the caller if the reading side is a disk device. The advantage of using sendfile is that you need to copy the data from the kernel-space (source) to the user-space (program) and then back to the kernel-space. |
