[PATCH v3 4/4] brd: implement write zeroes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch implements REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on brd. Write zeroes will free
the pages just like discard, but the difference is that it writes zeroes
to the preceding and following page if the range is not aligned on page
boundary.
