Subject: [PATCH v11 31/36] netfs: Add a method to get an estimate of the amount that can be written
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 18:33:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902173350.3468672-32-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902173350.3468672-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

Add a method, both to the netfs cache API and the netfs filesystem API,
that allows netfslib to query how much can be written to a stream in one
go.  A filesystem like Ceph can use this to limit writes to object
boundaries.

This is part of the replacement for ->prepare_write() and will be made use
of in a later patch.
