[RFC 0/5] implement asynchronous BLKDISCARD via io_uring

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

 



There is an interest in having asynchronous block operations like
discard. The patch set implements that as io_uring commands, which is
an io_uring request type allowing to implement custom file specific
operations.

First 4 patches are simple preps, and the main part is in Patch 5.
Not tested with a real drive yet, hence sending as an RFC.

I'm also going to add BLKDISCARDZEROES and BLKSECDISCARD, which should
reuse structures and helpers from Patch 5.

liburing tests for reference:

Pavel Begunkov (5):
  io_uring/cmd: expose iowq to cmds
  io_uring/cmd: give inline space in request to cmds
  filemap: introduce filemap_invalidate_pages
  block: introduce blk_validate_discard()
  block: implement io_uring discard cmd
