always use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for zeroing offload V2

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

 



This series makes REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES the only zeroing offload
supported by the block layer, and switches existing implementations
of REQ_OP_DISCARD that correctly set discard_zeroes_data to it,
removes incorrect discard_zeroes_data, and also switches WRITE SAME
based zeroing in SCSI to this new method.

The series is against the block for-next tree.

 - various spelling fixes
 - various reviews captured
 - two new patches from Martin at the end
