async discard support

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

 



Or rather nice async discard support :)  I have patches pending for XFS
and for the upcoming NVMe target driver to submit discard requests
without waiting for them in caller.  This series has one patch to
massively clean up the routines in blk-lib.c by using chained bios,
and a second one to export the guts of blkdev_issue_discard so that
callers can chain them even more (e.g. for range discards from NVMe
DSM commands, or from the XFS transation commit code) and submit them
with the callers own end_io handler instead of waiting for them.
