[PATCH 09/18] xfs: introduced uncached buffer read primitve

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

 



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

To avoid the need to use cached buffers for single-shot or buffers
cached at the filesystem level, introduce a new buffer read
primitive that bypasses the cache an reads directly from disk.
