Oh, bad
generic_write_checks() doesn't change offset now,
please, ignore this patch..
Hi,
Hello.

it does change it, but in struct kiocb instance, but we keep using
initial "off".

i'm trying to port file_operations' ->write() to ->write_iter()
right

Hmm. You'll need to modify ->write() of both file plugins -
it's not simple, esp. for cryptcompress, which performs writes by
chunks (4, 8, ... 64K)
Yeah, I understand. However, it doesn't seem too complex. It's simply
iov_iter* instead of a char*+size_t. I just need to grok how does the
page cache work (wrt. "faulting in" pages, flushing caches, error
handling, etc).

I'm now trying to read the generic code together with btrfs'
implementation, compare bit-by-bit and implement the same in reiser4.

now, FTR. The obvious fix (assign back ki_pos to off) is too ugly
:)
may be just create a static inline function
reiser4_write_check() ?
{
      ...
      generic_write_check();
*off = iocb.ki_pos;
}
Sure, it will work, but right now, as everything in vfs moves towards
*_iter methods, I guess there could be some sense in moving to those as
well...

Yes, I understand that vfs is a fast-moving target, but why not?

I afraid it'll get stuck in the queue "for review"..

BTW, we need to do something with the "precise discard extension":
http://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/patches/
It reports erase unit 512 bytes for my samsung SSD 840 EVO.
You said that this is incorrect. If so, then how to retrieve correct
discard parameters?

Thanks,
Edward.
