linux.git/drivers/nvme/target/io-cmd-bdev.c, branch v4.18 Linux kernel source tree nvmet: add simple file backed ns support 2018-05-25T14:50:12+00:00 Chaitanya Kulkarni chaitanya.kulkarni@wdc.com 2018-05-23T04:34:39+00:00 d5eff33ee6f80864d889d64fd3f6ea7b78dd1b24 This patch adds simple file backed namespace support for NVMeOF target. The new file io-cmd-file.c is responsible for handling the code for I/O commands when ns is file backed. Also, we introduce mempools based slow path using sync I/Os for file backed ns to ensure forward progress under reclaim. The old block device based implementation is moved to io-cmd-bdev.c and use a "nvmet_bdev_" symbol prefix. The enable/disable calls are also move into the respective files.

This patch adds simple file backed namespace support for NVMeOF target.

The new file io-cmd-file.c is responsible for handling the code for I/O
commands when ns is file backed. Also, we introduce mempools based slow
path using sync I/Os for file backed ns to ensure forward progress under
reclaim.

The old block device based implementation is moved to io-cmd-bdev.c and
use a "nvmet_bdev_" symbol prefix.  The enable/disable calls are also
move into the respective files.
