[PATCH 03/20] fs: add an iopoll method to struct file_operations

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

 



From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

This new methods is used to explicitly poll for I/O completion for an
iocb.  It must be called for any iocb submitted asynchronously (that
is with a non-null ki_complete) which has the IOCB_HIPRI flag set.

The method is assisted by a new ki_cookie field in struct iocb to store
the polling cookie.

TODO: we can probably union ki_cookie with the existing hint and I/O
priority fields to avoid struct kiocb growth.
