Hi Jens,
Can you please have a glance on this patch series, given than attempt is to extend the original architecture of write-hints.

Thanks,

Towards supporing write-hints/streams for filesystem journal.
Here is the v1 patch for background -
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=154444637519020&w=2
Changes since v1:
- introduce four more hints for in-kernel use, as recommended by Dave chinner
   & Jens axboe. This isolates kernel-mode hints from user-mode ones.
- remove mount-option to specify write-hint, as recommended by Jan kara &
   Dave chinner. Rather, FS always sets write-hint for journal. This gets ignored
   if device does not support stream.
- Removed code-redundancy for write_dirty_buffer (Jan kara's review comment)

I guess the series should also go to Jens since he was the original author
of write-hint support so he has the best idea about the architecture.

Kanchan Joshi (4):
   block: Increase count of supported write-hints
   fs: introduce four macros for in-kernel hints
   fs: introduce APIs to enable sending write-hint with buffer-head
   fs/ext4,jbd2: add support for passing write-hint with journal.
