block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fields
Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f7697 ("block: Remove request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1aa ("block: remove the per-bio/request write hint"). This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied: /* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */ /* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */ Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@samsung.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202203926.2478590-7-bvanassche@acm.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
