Subject: [PATCH 3/5] iomap: rework REQ_FUA selection
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:21:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112072214.844816-4-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251112072214.844816-1-hch@lst.de>

The way how iomap_dio_can_use_fua and the caller is structured is
a bit confusing, as the main guarding condition is hidden in the
helper, and the secondary conditions are split between caller and
callee.

Refactor the code, so that there is a main IOMAP_DIO_WRITE_THROUGH
guard in iomap_dio_bio_iter, which is directly tied to clearing it
when not supported, and a helper that just checks if the I/O is a
pure overwrite.
