Subject: [Lsf-pc] [LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] Atomic Writes
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 15:33:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e88c2f96-fdbb-efb5-d7e2-94bfefbe8bfa@oracle.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I know there's a lot of discussion on the list right now, but I'd like
to get this out before too much time gets away. I would like to propose
the topic of atomic writes. I realize the topic has been discussed
before, but I have not found much activity for it recently so perhaps we
can revisit it. We do have a customer who may have an interest, so I
would like to discuss the current state of things, and how we can move
forward. If efforts are in progress, and if not, what have we learned
from the attempt.
I also understand there are multiple ways to solve this problem that
people may have opinions on. I've noticed some older patch sets trying
to use a flag to control when dirty pages are flushed, though I think
our customer would like to see a hardware solution via NVMe devices. So
I would like to see if others have similar interests as well and what
their thoughts may be. Thanks everyone!
Allison
