This reduces the number of system calls done for reading an incoming IPC message from 4 to 2 and improves latency

Improves a minor thing, I cannot show a real world bug or issue because of it at the moment, but theoretically it's really incorrect to read unbuffered streams with system calls more then necessary. It's might be possible for someone to hit a case where the extra latency (let's say ca. 10 us / extra syscall) matters. |
