This patch converts ext2 direct-io path to iomap interface. - This also takes care of DIO_SKIP_HOLES part in which we return -ENOTBLK from ext2_iomap_begin(), in case if the write is done on a hole. - This fallbacks to buffered-io in case of DIO_SKIP_HOLES or in case of a partial write or if any error is detected in ext2_iomap_end(). We try to return -ENOTBLK in such cases. - For any unaligned or extending DIO writes, we pass IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT flag to ensure synchronous writes. - For extending writes we set IOMAP_F_DIRTY in ext2_iomap_begin because otherwise with dsync writes on devices that support FUA, generic_write_sync won't be called and we might miss inode metadata updates. - Since ext2 already now uses _nolock vartiant of sync write. Hence there is no inode lock problem with iomap in this patch. - ext2_iomap_ops are now being shared by DIO, DAX & fiemap path Tested-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Message-Id: <610b672a52f2a7ff6dc550fd14d0f995806232a5.1682069716.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
