Before per-bio/request write hints were removed, things looked like this:
io_uring.c:
req->rw.kiocb.ki_hint = ki_hint_validate(file_write_hint(req->file));
fs/fcntl.c:
static inline enum rw_hint file_write_hint(struct file *file)
{
if (file->f_write_hint != WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET)
return file->f_write_hint;
return file_inode(file)->i_write_hint;
}
direct-io.c:
bio->bi_write_hint = dio->iocb->ki_hint;
buffered-io.c:
bio->bi_write_hint = inode->i_write_hint;
After this series, things instead look like this:
direct-io.c:
bio->bi_ioprio = dio->iocb->ki_ioprio;
buffered-io.c:
bio_set_data_lifetime(bio, inode->i_write_hint);
So when you say:
"It depends on how we want the user to specify the data lifetime for
direct I/O.", do you mean that buffered I/O should use fcntl() to specify
data lifetime, but direct I/O should used Linux IO priority API to specify
the same?
Because, to me that seems to be how the series is currently working.
(I am sorry if I am missing something.)
Kind regards,
Niklas
