This RFC provides a rough implementation of a mechanism to allow
userspace to attach protection information (e.g. T10 DIF) data to a
disk write and to receive the information alongside a disk read.
The interface is an extension to the io_uring interface:
two new commands (IORING_OP_READV{WRITEV}_PI) are provided.
The last struct iovec in the arg list is interpreted to point to a buffer
containing the the PI data.
Patch #1 add two new commands to io_uring.
Patch #2 introduces two helper funcs in bio-integrity.
Patch #3 implement the PI passthrough in direct-io of block-dev.
(Similar extensions may add to fs/direct-io.c and fs/maps/directio.c)
Patch #4 add io_uring use space test case to liburing.
Welcome any feedbacks.
Thanks!
There was attempt before[1], but was based on AIO at that time.
