There is some issues in this spec. For one using the multiple ranges also for write zeroes is rather inefficient. Write zeroes really should use the same format as read and write. Second the unmap flag isn't properly specified at all, as nothing says the device may not unmap without the unmap flag. Please take a look at the SCSI or NVMe Ń•pec for some guidance. > +static inline int virtblk_setup_discard_write_zeroes(struct request *req, > + bool unmap) Why is this an inline function? _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
