This patch adds back O_DIRECT support with various caveats attached: 1. Journaled data can be read via O_DIRECT since its now the same on disk format as normal data files. 2. Journaled data writes with O_DIRECT will be failed sliently back to normal writes (should we really do this I wonder or should we return an error instead?) 3. Stuffed files will be failed back to normal buffered I/O 4. All the usual corner cases (write beyond current end of file, write to an unallocated block) will also revert to normal buffered I/O. The I/O path is slightly odd as reads arrive at the page cache layer with the lock for the file already held, but writes arrive unlocked. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
