See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html Sender: io-uring-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: io-uring@vger.kernel.org Zone append is a protocol context that ha not business showing up in a file system interface. The right interface is a generic way to report the written offset for an append write for any kind of file. So we should pick a better name like FMODE_REPORT_APPEND_OFFSET (not that I particularly like that name, but it is the best I could quickly come up with).
