I'll get to this soon - sorry that this means that it'll miss 5.11, but I wanted to make sure that we get this absolutely right. It is definitely an interesting and useful feature, but worth spending the necessary time on to ensure we don't have any mistakes we'll regret later. For your question, yes I think we could add sqe->update_flags (something like that) and union it with the other flags, and add a flag that means we're updating buffers instead of files. A bit iffy with the naming of the opcode itself, but probably still a useful way to go. I'd also love to see a bunch of test cases for this that exercise all parts of it. -- Jens Axboe
