Passthru is great for prototyping and getting insights on end-to-end

based on it, unless people implement a use-space layer tailored to their
use-case (e.g., a version SPDK's bdev). After the POC phase, most folks
that can use passthru prefer to move to block - with a validated
use-case it should be easier to get things upstream.

This is exactly where we are now.

That's a lot of marketing babble :)    What exact thing is missing
from the passthrough interface when using say spdx over io_uring?

The block layer provides a lot of functionality that passthru cannot
provide. A simple example would be splits. You know this :)

I am sure Jens and Keith can give you more specifics on their particular
reasons.


If you saw the comments from Christian on the inode space, there are a
few plumbing challenges. Do you have any patches we could look at?

I'm not sure what you refer to here.
