fs: add fcntl() interface for setting/getting write life time hints
Define a set of write life time hints:
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET No hint information set
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE No hints about write life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT Data written has a short life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM Data written has a medium life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG Data written has a long life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME Data written has an extremely long life time
The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.
Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for
setting them as well:
F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
underlying inode.
F_SET_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
underlying inode.
F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
file descriptor.
F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
file descriptor.
The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and
the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error.
Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.
Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags
and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If
both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we
use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used
for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint
is available.
This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer,
to guide on-media data placement.
