Re: [PATCH 5/6] iomap: implement direct I/O

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

 



----- Original Message -----
| This adds a full fledget direct I/O implementation using the iomap
| interface. Full fledged in this case means all features are supported:
| AIO, vectored I/O, any iov_iter type including kernel pointers, bvecs
| and pipes, support for hole filling and async apending writes.  It does
| not mean supporting all the warts of the old generic code.  We expect
| i_rwsem to be held over the duration of the call, and we expect to
| maintain i_dio_count ourselves, and we pass on any kinds of mapping
| to the file system for now.
| 
| The algorithm used is very simple: We use iomap_apply to iterate over
| the range of the I/O, and then we use the new bio_iov_iter_get_pages
| helper to lock down the user range for the size of the extent.
| bio_iov_iter_get_pages can currently lock down twice as many pages as
| the old direct I/O code did, which means that we will have a better
| batch factor for everything but overwrites of badly fragmented files.

It's unlikely, but bio_alloc can return NULL; shouldn't the code be checking for that?

Same here. Also: the code that follows is nearly identical; do you want to make
it a macro or inline function or something?
