[PATCH 2/6] iomap: IOMAP_DIO_RWF_NO_STALE_PAGECACHE return if page invalidation fails

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

 



From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx>

For direct I/O, add the flag IOMAP_DIO_RWF_NO_STALE_PAGECACHE to indicate
that if the page invalidation fails, return back control to the
filesystem so it may fallback to buffered mode.
