Yes. I have a WIP stacking driver that converts writes to zone appends and it does just that: sector_t orig_sector = bio->bi_iter.bi_sector; unsigned int bio_flags = bio->bi_opf & ~REQ_OP_MASK; ... clone = bio_clone_fast(bio, GFP_NOIO, &bdev->write_bio_set); ... clone->bi_opf = REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND | REQ_NOMERGE | bio_flags; bio_set_dev(clone, dev->lower_bdev); clone->bi_iter.bi_sector = zone_sector; trace_block_bio_remap(clone, disk_devt(disk), orig_sector); > > Thanks, > Qu ---end quoted text--- -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
