Subject: [PATCH 1/3] block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT.
Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:56:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160305005603.29738.58460.stgit@birch.djwong.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160305005556.29738.66782.stgit@birch.djwong.org>

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

v5: Refactor the 4.4 refactoring of the ioctl code into separate functions.
Split the page invalidation and the new ioctl into separate patches.
