Dirtying inodes from block driver

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

 



I've got a block storage driver whose backing device can dirty data on-disk without OS action. How can I communicate that dirtied state to vfs such that caches are purged, etc?

Data dirtied by the backing device is only known asynchronously. I think I need to solve this in request_fn().

Thanks
