[f2fs-dev] [PATCHv2 2/5] block: report direct io attributes through file_getattr

Keith Busch via Linux-f2fs-devel <[email protected]> Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:06:43 -0700
Newsgroups net.sourceforge.lists.linux-f2fs-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-block
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Keith Busch <[email protected]>

Add bdev_fill_dio_attr() to fill the file_attr direct io alignment
fields from a block device's queue limits, so filesystems can share the
derivation. Use it to report the attributes for block devices opened
directly.
