Subject: [RFC v3] nvfs: a filesystem for persistent memory
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 10:03:54 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.02.2102021307370.4109@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com> (raw)

Hi

I announce a new version of NVFS - a filesystem for persistent memory.
        http://people.redhat.com/~mpatocka/nvfs/
        git://leontynka.twibright.com/nvfs.git

Changes since the last release:

I reworked file read/write handling:

* the functions nvfs_read and nvfs_write were deleted beacause it's 
  unlikely that the upstream kernel will allow them.

* the functions nvfs_read_iter and nvfs_write_iter have a fast path if 
  there is just one segment in iov_iter - they will call nvfs_read_locked 
  and nvfs_write_locked directly. This improves performance by 3% on the 
  read path and 1% on the write path.

* read_iter_locked uses copy_to_iter as suggested by Al Viro.

* write_iter_locked doesn't use copy_from_iter_flushcache, because we need 
  copy that doesn't advance the iter (the "copy" and "advance" must be two 
  separate operations). So, I added new operations "iov_iter_map" and 
  "iov_iter_unmap" - iov_iter_map will map the first segment of iov and 
  iov_iter_unmap will unmap it.

Do you think that introducing "iov_iter_map" and "iov_iter_unmap" is 
appropriate? Do you have some other idea how to handle it?

Mikukas
