[RFC PATCH v2 4/4] ocfs2: remove legacy blockdev direct-IO path APIs

Heming Zhao <[email protected]> Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:18:00 +0800
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.ocfs2-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Since the DIO path already migrated from buffer_head mode (by using
a_ops->direct_IO method) to iomap mode, the VFS no longer sets
FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT automatically, so ocfs2_file_open() sets it
explicitly.

The now-unused blockdev get_block/end_io machinery
(ocfs2_lock_get_block(), ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block(), ocfs2_dio_end_io(),
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write(), and the ocfs2_dio_write_ctxt helpers) is removed,
and OCFS2_FS Kconfig removes LEGACY_DIRECT_IO.
