[PATCHv2 2/3] ext4: Extend ext4_overwrite_io() for dax path

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

 



DAX uses ->iomap_begin path which gets called to map/allocate
extents. In order to avoid starting journal txn where extent
allocation is not required, we need to check if ext4_map_blocks()
has returned any mapped extent entry.
