[PATCH 07/17] fs: add RWF_UNCACHED iocb and FOP_UNCACHED file_operations flag

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

 



If a file system supports uncached buffered IO, it may set FOP_UNCACHED
and enable RWF_UNCACHED. If RWF_UNCACHED is attempted without the file
system supporting it, it'll get errored with -EOPNOTSUPP.
