[PATCHv9 0/7] write hints with nvme fdp, scsi streams

[Keith Busch <kbusch@meta.com>]

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

A little something for everyone here.

Upfront, I really didn't get the feedback about setting different flags
for stream vs. temperature support. Who wants to use it, and where and
how is that information used?

Changes from v8:

  Added reviews.

  Removed an unused header.

  Changed "hint" to "streams" in the commit logs.

  Ability to split available hints that a partition can use.

  Dropped all the generic filesystem changes that were defaulting to the
  kiocb write_hint. They are unchanged, which having no functional
  change was really the intention anyway, so let's just not change them.

  The above means we don't need a special fop flag to indicate support
  for the kiocb write_hint. Those filesystems that don't support it
  simply don't read it.

  Added the SCSI support since I had to read the spec anyway, and it is
  just a one-line change.

Kanchan Joshi (2):
  io_uring: enable per-io hinting capability
  nvme: enable FDP support

Keith Busch (5):
  block: use generic u16 for write hints
  block: introduce max_write_hints queue limit
  block: allow ability to limit partition write hints
  block, fs: add write hint to kiocb
  scsi: set permanent stream count in block limits
