Except for the VM magic I don't feel qualified to review this looks fine to me. But don't we need to switch ext4 away from going through the DIO path first before the limited invalidation is effective there? Otherwise we'll still get the full range invalidation from generic_file_direct_write? _______________________________________________ Linux-nvdimm mailing list Linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-nvdimm
