Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: Add post_release() operation
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:51:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <31df153b91170a7c91c717978c94cb4e140af1f3.1789587960.git.bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1789587960.git.bvanassche@acm.org>
Add post_release() block device operation which provides a hook for
performing synchronous cleanup without disk->open_mutex held.
This is needed by block drivers (such as the loop device) that must
drain in-flight I/O and perform synchronization after disk->open_mutex
has been released.
