Allow block device to be configured in the buffered I/O mode by using the file backend. In this way now we can use cache for the block device namespace which shows significant performance improvement. We update the block device ns enable function and return early when buffered_io flag is set. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
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.
