From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When "drop caches" tests are run, the test_fd is closed and re-opened. It is reopened O_RDWR, so dropping O_DIRECT and any other open flag that was set for test_fd. This fixes a random generic/311 failure due to file data corruption I've been seeing on subtests 11 and 13 when direct IO was specified.
