[PATCH 4/7] vfs: add the RWF_HIPRI flag for preadv2/pwritev2
From: Christoph Hellwig <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-22 17:08:03
Also in:
linux-fsdevel
Subsystem:
filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers:
Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds
This adds a flag that tells the file system that this is a high priority request for which it's worth to poll the hardware. The flag is purely advisory and can be ignored if not supported.
