If the file is flagged with FMODE_BUF_RASYNC, then we don't have to punt the buffered read to an io-wq worker. Instead we can rely on page unlocking callbacks to support retry based async IO. This is a lot more efficient than doing async thread offload. The retry is done similarly to how we handle poll based retry. From the unlock callback, we simply queue the retry to a task_work based handler. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
