Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/4] block: Add support for REQ_OP_ASSIGN_RANGE
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2020 22:29:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yq1v9mi4o31.fsf@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bb7d7604-8ee5-97d8-1563-9140cd499f15@yandex-team.ru> (Konstantin Khlebnikov's message of "Wed, 1 Apr 2020 09:22:26 +0300")


Konstantin,

REQ_OP_ALLOCATE will be used to compel a device to allocate a block
range. What a given block contains after successful allocation is
undefined (depends on the device implementation).

For block allocation with deterministic zeroing, one must keep using
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES with the NOUNMAP flag set.
