[RFC PATCH 1/2] block, badblocks: add a notifier for badblocks

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

 



Filesystems with reverse mapping data may wish to do their own badblock
checking if they can be more efficient. This lays the groundwork for
that by providing a notifier in badblocks that such filesystems may
subscribe to. The notification includes information for whether one or
more badblocks were added or removed, the start sector of the operation,
and the number of sectors affected.
