18 * sys_sync_file_range() permits finely controlled syncing over a segment of
19 * a file in the range offset .. (offset+nbytes-1) inclusive. If nbytes is
20 * zero then sys_sync_file_range() will operate from offset out to EOF.
22 * The flag bits are:
24 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
25 * before performing the write.
27 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the
28 * range which are not presently under writeback.
30 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
31 * after performing the write.
33 * Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
35 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
36 * in the range which were dirty on entry to sys_sync_file_range() are placed
37 * under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
39 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
40 * are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
41 * operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
43 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
44 * completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
45 * earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
46 * for that operation to complete and to return the result.
48 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER:
49 * a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
50 * which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
51 * sys_sync_file_range() are committed to disk.
54 * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
55 * I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
56 * clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
58 * It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
59 * metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
60 * already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
61 * will be available after a crash.
