From cb365b9675fda026caba4cb5df83292cb7c0811a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 19:21:10 +0200 Subject: block: add a new BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK flag This avoids fallbacks to explicit zeroing in (__)blkdev_issue_zeroout if the caller doesn't want them. Also clean up the convoluted check for the return condition that this new flag is added to. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K.
