Subject: [PATCH] /dev/mem: nowait zero/null ops
Date: Wed,  8 Sep 2021 11:06:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16c78d25f507b571df7eb852a571141a0fdc73fd.1631095567.git.asml.silence@gmail.com> (raw)

Make read_iter_zero() to honor IOCB_NOWAIT, so /dev/zero can be
advertised as FMODE_NOWAIT. This helps subsystems like io_uring to use
it more effectively. Set FMODE_NOWAIT for /dev/null as well, it never
waits and therefore trivially meets the criteria.
