• bbd3e0643   block: add an API for Persistent Reservations ... Browse Code »

  This commits adds a driver API and ioctls for controlling Persistent
  Reservations s/genericly/generically/ at the block layer. Persistent
  Reservations are supported by SCSI and NVMe and allow controlling who gets
  access to a device in a shared storage setup.

  Note that we add a pr_ops structure to struct block_device_operations
  instead of adding the members directly to avoid bloating all instances
  of devices that will never support Persistent Reservations.
