Subject: [PATCH v7 3/9] nvme-multipath: pass I/O type to nvme_find_path()
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2026 15:37:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260809100825.2014133-4-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260809100825.2014133-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
Currently, nvme_find_path() only accepts an nvme_ns_head argument.
However, the upcoming latency-aware I/O policy also needs to know
the I/O type (read/write/other) associated with the request in order
to make path selection decisions.
Update nvme_find_path() to accept an additional argument describing
the I/O type. This patch does not introduce any functional change and
only prepares the interface for subsequent latency-policy changes.
