Hi Christoph,
Note that there are plenty of other use cases for preadv2/pwritev2 as well, but I'd like to concentrate on this one for now. Example are: non-blocking reads (the original purpose), per-I/O O_SYNC, user space support for T10 DIF/DIX applications tags and probably some more.
So I'm trying to understand how can integrity metadata be used here. Will the user-app append the meta-data to the data iovec (given there is no metadata iovec)? If so, how will we separate data from metadata?
