[RFC PATCH 0/2] f2fs: support uncached buffered I/O

From: Wenjie Qi

Date: Thu Aug 06 2026 - 11:08:04 EST


This RFC series enables buffered RWF_DONTCACHE on F2FS.

The first patch keeps dropbehind folios in dropbehind-only write bios and
defers their completion to task context when completion happens outside
in_task().

The second patch then exposes FOP_DONTCACHE and propagates
IOCB_DONTCACHE to write_begin folio allocation so buffered
RWF_DONTCACHE can reach the F2FS write path.

The split keeps the write-side semantics in place before enabling the
user-visible API.

Wenjie Qi (2):
f2fs: keep dropbehind write bios task-context safe
f2fs: enable buffered RWF_DONTCACHE
