- * Flags for all iomap mappings:
+ * Flags reported by the file system from iomap_begin:
+ *
+ * IOMAP_F_NEW indicates that the blocks have been newly allocated and need
+ * zeroing for areas that no data is copied to.
*
* IOMAP_F_DIRTY indicates the inode has uncommitted metadata needed to access
* written data and requires fdatasync to commit them to persistent storage.
* This needs to take into account metadata changes that *may* be made at IO
* completion, such as file size updates from direct IO.
+ *
+ * IOMAP_F_SHARED indicates that the blocks are shared, and will need to be
+ * unshared as part a write.
+ *
+ * IOMAP_F_MERGED indicates that the iomap contains the merge of multiple block
+ * mappings.
+ *
+ * IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD indicates that the file system requires the use of
+ * buffer heads for this mapping.
