Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it. For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist. Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
|
|
file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
|
|
of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
|
|
for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems. However
|
|
these particular OS implementations of vxfs may differ in on-disk
|
|
data endianness and/or superblock offset. The vxfs module has been
|
|
tested with SCO UnixWare and HP-UX B.10.20 (pa-risc 1.1 arch.)
|
|
Currently only readonly access is supported and VxFX versions
|
|
2, 3 and 4. Tests were performed with HP-UX VxFS version 3.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and
|
|
fstab(5) is 'vxfs' as it describes the file system format, not
|
|
the actual driver.
|
|
|
|
There is a userspace utility for HP-UX logical volumes which makes
|
|
creating HP-UX logical volumes easy from HP-UX disk block device file
|
|
or regular file with image of the disk. See:
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-vxfs/
|
|
|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
|
|
called freevxfs. If unsure, say N.
