[PATCH 0/8] null_blk: add missing write-zeroes and discard support

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

 



Hi,

This patch series focusses on adding the support for:-                                                                   
1. Memory backed REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES through configfs.
2. Non Memory backed REQ_OP_DISCARD through module parameter.
3. Non Memory backed REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES through module parameter.

While the development of the blktrace extension, this support turned
out  to be useful in the debugging and discovering the various
scenarios when dealing with special REQ_OP_XXX (DISCARD, WRITE_ZEROES).

Also, for block layer in the blktests, we are missing the tests for 
write-zeroes. With this support now we can add tests so developers can
ensure that any change(s) to the I/O path is not breaking the special
REQ_OP_XXX without actually depending on the supporting controller and
the respective driver.

With this support, I sign-up for writing the testcases for the
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES with memory backed null_blk as soon as this series
goes upstream in the blktests.

If anyone is interested please find the testing log at the end.

Regards,
Chaitanya
