Subject: copy of write for disk blocks
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:14:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <525668F9.60509@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Is it feasible to add support for copy of write for disk blocks within 
the block layer itself ? Setting a flag in the struct bio will cause the 
block layer to copy the original data before over writing it.

Regards.
