axboe@m2max-kvm ~> uname -a Linux m2max-kvm 6.9.0-rc2-00108-gf43454f1aaa3-dirty #6275 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 4 13:17:27 MDT 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux May not look like much, but this is the first Linux kernel booted with the old ->read and ->write() file operations members.
Not complete, but complete enough for building my test kernel. 273 files changed, 2724 insertions(+), 2481 deletions(-) Iterator versions, ->read_iter() and ->write_iter(), were added more than 10 years ago, would be nice to unify this and kill the legacy code. WIP #techdebt
@axboe I could not understand what changed. Does this mean the read and write syscall implementations changed significantly?
*without* ->read and ->write in file_operations, of course... They've been there since day 1.
@axboe unrelated nosiness, r u virtualizing Linux on an M2 Max Mac? wondering from the hostname lol
