linux-fsdevel, linux-man
Now that we have this in 4.5-rc1 let's get this into man-pages as well.
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
--- /dev/null +++ b/man2/ioctl_ficlone.2
think this should be a link to the clone range man page, and the both ioctls should be documented together. Basically just document FICLONERANGE and then mentiond that FICLONE does a whole file clone.
+.B #include <sys/ioctl.h>
Don't we need uapi/linux/fs.h as well?
Not all filesystems support +overlapping reflink ranges in the same file.
Which one doesn't? Also there should be a sentence that the clones are atomic vs concurrent writes, so no locks need to be taken for a consistent snapshot. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
