Subject: [PATCH 2/8] null_blk: add REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES config property
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 10:53:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190711175328.16430-3-chaitanya.kulkarni@wdc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190711175328.16430-1-chaitanya.kulkarni@wdc.com>
This is a preparation patch for implementing the support for the
write-zeroes operations for null_blk. We introduce a new bool flag
write-zeroes for nullb_device structure so that user can either set
this value through configfs when null_blk is memory backed or use
module parameter. Following two patches are implementing respective
support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES.
