[f2fs-dev] [RFC PATCH 2/2] f2fs: enable buffered RWF_DONTCACHE

Newsgroups net.sourceforge.lists.linux-f2fs-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Expose FOP_DONTCACHE and propagate IOCB_DONTCACHE
to write_begin folio allocation so buffered
RWF_DONTCACHE can reach the F2FS write path.

The write-side completion and bio-isolation
semantics are prepared by the previous patch in
this RFC series.
