directio sendfile aio

[Anoop Alias]

My use case is mixed mass hosting environment where some vhost may be
serving large files and some may be serving small files and where adding
something like location /video with directio enabled is not practical as I
being the webhost may not be knowing if the vhost user is serving a video
etc .

In such cases ..do you recommend using something like

sendfile on;
sendfile_max_chunk 512k;
aio threads=default;
directio 100m;

in the http context . The logic being

file served of size 100m or less use sendfile and anything larger than 100m
( in which case it may have a high chance of being a multimedia file) is
served via directio .

Part of these setting are derived from what I understood is good from
