This patch series refactors the address_space_operations write_begin()
and write_end() callbacks to take struct kiocb * as their first argument,
allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate to filesystem’s
buffered write path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag in its
buffered write path and to advertise support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file
operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver’s shmem write paths are updated to bypass
the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of directly calling
write_iter(), using a constructed synchronous kiocb. Another i915 patch
replaces a manual write loop with kernel_write() in shmem object creation.
Tested with ext4 and i915 GEM workloads.
Changes since v1:
- ext4 uses kiocb->ki_flags directly instead of fsdata.
- write_begin/write_end interface is changed to take struct kiocb *
instead of struct file *.
- i915 shmem_pwrite refactored to use write_iter() directly instead
of write_begin/write_end.
- i915 GEM shmem object creation replaced manual write loop with
kernel_write().
