[PATCH v1 2/8] iomap: add IOMAP_IN_MEM iomap type

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

 



Add a new iomap type, IOMAP_IN_MEM, that represents data that resides in
memory and does not map to or depend on the block layer and is not
embedded inline in an inode. This will be used for example by filesystems
such as FUSE where the data is in memory or needs to be fetched from a
server and is not coupled with the block layer. This lets these
filesystems use some of the internal features in iomaps such as
granular dirty tracking for large folios.
