[PATCH 0/7] Start moving write_begin/write_end out of aops

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

 



Christoph wants to remove write_begin/write_end from aops and pass them
to filemap as callback functions.  Here's one possible route to do this.
I combined it with the folio conversion (because why touch the same code
twice?) and tweaked some of the other things (support for ridiculously
large folios with size_t lengths, remove the need to initialise fsdata
by passing only a pointer to the fsdata pointer).  And then I converted
ext4, which is probably the worst filesystem to convert because it needs
three different bwops.  Most fs will only need one.

Not written yet: convert all the other fs, remove wrappers.

v2:
 - Redo how we pass fsdata around so it can persist across multiple
   invocations of filemap_perform_write()
 - Add ext2
 - Minor tweak to iomap

This is against 2bfcfd584ff5 (Linus current head) and will conflict with
other patches in flight.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (7):
  fs: Introduce buffered_write_operations
  fs: Supply optional buffered_write_operations in buffer.c
  buffer: Add buffer_write_begin, buffer_write_end and
    __buffer_write_end
  fs: Add filemap_symlink()
  ext2: Convert to buffered_write_operations
  ext4: Convert to buffered_write_operations
  iomap: Return the folio from iomap_write_begin()
