Subject: [PATCH v7] xfs: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES to XFS code base
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:20:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120132056.534646-2-cem@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Lukas Herbolt <lukas@herbolt.com>
Add support for FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES if the underlying device enable
the unmap write zeroes operation.

[cem: rewrite xfs_falloc_zero_range() bits]
---
Christoph, Darrick, could you please review/ack this patch again? I
needed to rewrite the xfs_falloc_zero_range() bits, because it
conflicted with 66d78a11479c and 8dc15b7a6e59. This version aims mostly
to remove one of the if-else nested levels to keep it a bit cleaner.
please let me know if you agree with this version, otherwise I'll ask
Lukas to rebase it on top of the new code.
Thanks!
