[PATCH v13 05/12] famfs: Introduce file_operations read/write

From: John Groves

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 16:28:17 EST


From: John Groves <john@xxxxxxxxxx>

This commit introduces fs/famfs/famfs_file.c and the famfs
file_operations for read/write.

This is not usable yet because:

* It calls dax_iomap_rw() with NULL iomap_ops (which will be
introduced in a subsequent commit).
* famfs_ioctl() is coming in a later commit, and it is necessary
to map a file to a memory allocation.

v13:
- Use copy_splice_read() instead of filemap_splice_read() for .splice_read:
famfs inodes are DAX (no page cache), so filemap_splice_read() faulted in
zero-filled ram_aops folios and splice()/sendfile() returned a stream of
zeroes; copy_splice_read() routes through ->read_iter (dax_iomap_rw) and
returns the real data (Sashiko bot).
- No code change. The Sashiko bot flagged that famfs_dax_write_iter() does
not call generic_write_sync() for O_SYNC/O_DSYNC writes. Considered and
declined -- the finding does not apply to famfs: there is no page cache,
no dirty tracking and no writeback, and ->fsync is noop_fsync by design,
so generic_write_sync() resolves to vfs_fsync_range() -> noop_fsync() -> 0,
an inert no-op. Bla bla bla ;)
