Subject: Regular file support in Linux blkback?
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 17:06:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y9RK6cf2Hu9vQRqN@itl-email> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 342 bytes --]

What would be involved in supporting regular files in Linux blkback?  Is
it just a matter of using the call_{read,write}_iter functions for read
and write, and punting the work that cannot be done asynchronously to a
thread pool?  Or is it more complex than that?
