We have to dig quite deep to check for particularly whether or not a file supports a fast-path nonblock attempt. For fixed files, we can do this lookup once and cache the state instead. This adds two new bits to track whether we support async read/write attempt, and lines up the REQ_F_ISREG bit with those two. The file slot re-uses the last 3 (or 2, for 32-bit) of the file pointer to cache that state, and then we mask it in when we go and use a fixed file. 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.
