Hi,
What should a block device driver need to do to get all read/write requests without any buffering from the page cache? I think the iscsi initiation does this. This is needed to get an existing pseudo block device to function as a shared storage so that a cluster filesystem (gpfs/ocfs) can be put on it (nbd).
