Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 3/5] exportfs: split out the ops for layout-based block device access
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 20:53:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106015245.3586810-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106015245.3586810-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
[ Upstream commit d5758c31a81bcd9d5ac8a7456549b05df3579068 ]
The support to grant layouts for direct block device access works
at a very different layer than the rest of exports. Split the methods
for it into a separate struct, and move that into a separate header
to better split things out. The pointer to the new operation vector
is kept in export_operations to avoid bloating the super_block.
