Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: pass the write life time hint to the mapped filesystem
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 09:45:57 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2f7829a5-d47b-e6a0-cc10-8b534e9772ab@moysys.com> (raw)

The write hint needs to be copied to the mapped filesystem
so it can be passed down to the nvme device driver.

v2: fix tabs in the email
