[PATCH 05/21] block: Add REQ_ATOMIC flag

From: John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>
Date: 2023-09-29 10:33:31
Also in: linux-block, linux-fsdevel, linux-nvme, linux-xfs, lkml
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

From: Himanshu Madhani <redacted>

Add flag REQ_ATOMIC, meaning an atomic operation. This should only be
used in conjunction with REQ_OP_WRITE.

We will not add a special "request atomic write" operation, as to try to
avoid maintenance effort for an operation which is almost the same as
REQ_OP_WRITE.
