[PATCH 04/10] fs: Introduce RWF_NOWAIT and FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <hidden>
Date: 2017-06-15 16:00:17
Also in: linux-block, linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: aio, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Benjamin LaHaise, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <redacted>

RWF_NOWAIT informs kernel to bail out if an AIO request will block
for reasons such as file allocations, or a writeback triggered,
or would block while allocating requests while performing
direct I/O.

RWF_NOWAIT is translated to IOCB_NOWAIT for iocb->ki_flags.

FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT is a flag which identifies the file opened is capable
of returning -EAGAIN if the AIO call will block. This must be set by
supporting filesystems in the ->open() call.

Filesystems xfs, btrfs and ext4 would be supported in the following patches.
