[RFC PATCH v2 2/6] ext4: use iocb->private instead of bh->b_private

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

 



From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>

As part of simplifying all of the private data passed around for direct
I/O, bh->b_private will no longer be passed to dio_iodone_t. iocb is
still available there, however, so convert ext4 to use it. Note that
ext4_file_write_iter() also uses iocb->private, but
ext4_direct_IO_write() resets it to NULL after reading it.

Also note that the comment above ext4_should_dioread_nolock() is no
longer accurate. It seems that it should be possible to remove the data
journaling restriction now?
