Subject: [PATCH RFC v4 2/3] iomap: use BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK for dropbehind writeback
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:43:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325-blk-dontcache-v4-2-c4b56db43f64@columbia.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325-blk-dontcache-v4-0-c4b56db43f64@columbia.edu>

Set BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK on iomap writeback bios when
IOMAP_IOEND_DONTCACHE is set. This ensures that bi_end_io runs in task
context, where folio_end_dropbehind() can safely invalidate folios.

With the bio layer now handling task-context deferral generically, XFS
no longer needs to route DONTCACHE ioends through its completion
workqueue for page cache invalidation. Remove the DONTCACHE check from
xfs_ioend_needs_wq_completion().
