From: Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@xxxxxxxxxxx>
With F_SET_RW_HINT fcntl, user can set a hint on the file inode, and
all the subsequent writes on the file pass that hint value down. This
can be limiting for block device as all the writes will be tagged with
only one lifetime hint value. Concurrent writes (with different hint
values) are hard to manage. Per-IO hinting solves that problem.
Allow userspace to pass additional metadata in the SQE.
__u16 write_hint;
If the hint is provided, filesystems may optionally use it. A filesytem
may ignore this field if it does not support per-io hints, or if the
value is invalid for its backing storage. Just like the inode hints,
requesting values that are not supported by the hardware are not an
error.
