For now this series only contains support for block size == PAGE_SIZE, with the 4k support split into a separate series. A git tree is available at: git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/xfs.git xfs-iomap-read.3 Gitweb: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/xfs.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xfs-iomap-read.3 Changes since v2: - minor page_seek_hole_data tweaks - don't read data entirely covered by the write operation in write_begin - fix zeroing on write_begin I/O failure - remove iomap_block_needs_zeroing to make the code more clear - update comments on __do_page_cache_readahead Changes since v1: - fix the iomap_readpages error handling - use unsigned file offsets in a few places to avoid arithmetic overflows - allocate a iomap_page in iomap_page_mkwrite to fix generic/095 - improve a few comments - add more asserts - warn about truncated block numbers from ->bmap - new patch to change the __do_page_cache_readahead return value to unsigned int - remove an incorrectly added empty line - make inline data an explicit iomap type instead of a flag - add a IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to force use of buffers heads for gfs2, and keep the basic buffer head infrastructure around for now.
