Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] mpage: Provide variant of mpage_writepages() with own optional folio handler
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:06:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326140635.15895-3-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326140257.15908-1-jack@suse.cz>
Some filesystems need to treat some folios specially (for example for
inodes with inline data). Doing the handling in their .writepages method
in a race-free manner results in duplicating some of the writeback
internals. So provide generalized version of mpage_writepages() that
allows filesystem to provide a handler called for each folio which can
handle the folio in a special way.
