[PATCH 3 of 8] DIO: don't fall back to buffered writes

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

 



Placeholder pages allow DIO to use locking rules similar to that of
writepage.  DIO can now fill holes, and it can extend the file via
get_block().

i_mutex can be dropped during writes if we are writing inside i_size.
