The patch titled Subject: filemap: add a kiocb_write_and_wait helper has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is filemap-add-a-kiocb_write_and_wait-helper.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/filemap-add-a-kiocb_write_and_wait-helper.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: filemap: add a kiocb_write_and_wait helper Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 16:58:56 +0200 Factor out a helper that does filemap_write_and_wait_range for the range covered by a read kiocb, or returns -EAGAIN if the kiocb is marked as nowait and there would be pages to write.
