Subject: [PATCH V5 00/30] loop: Issue O_DIRECT aio using bio_vec
This patchset was begun by Zach Brown and was originally submitted for
review in October, 2009. Feedback was positive, and I have picked up
where he left off, porting his patches to the latest mainline kernel
and adding support more file systems.
This patch series adds a kernel interface to fs/aio.c so that kernel code can
issue concurrent asynchronous IO to file systems. It adds an aio command and
file system methods which specify io memory with pages instead of userspace
addresses.
This series was written to reduce the current overhead loop imposes by
performing synchronus buffered file system IO from a kernel thread. These
patches turn loop into a light weight layer that translates bios into iocbs.
It introduces new file ops, read_iter() and write_iter(), that replace the
aio_read() and aio_write() operations. The iov_iter structure can now contain
either a user-space iovec or a kernel-space bio_vec. Since it would be
overly complicated to replace every instance of aio_read() and aio_write(),
the old operations are not removed, but file systems implementing the new
ones need not keep the old ones.
Changes from V4 include:
* moved iov-iter.c from mm/ to fs/
* removed dio_aligned helper
* insured that FUA write to loop device is committed to media
* removed no-longer-used REQ_KERNEL define
These patches apply to 3.8-rc2 and are also available at:
git://github.com/kleikamp/linux-shaggy.git loop_2013_01_04
My hopes are that this patchset is finally ready for linux-next.
Asias He (1):
