I suspect this should be more like: if (dio && inode->i_sb->s_bdev && (lo->lo_offset & (bdev_io_min(inode->i_sb->s_bdev) - 1)) != 0) dio = false; > + blk_mq_freeze_queue(lo->lo_queue); > + lo->use_dio = use_dio; > + if (use_dio) > + lo->lo_flags |= LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO; > + else > + lo->lo_flags &= ~LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO; > + blk_mq_unfreeze_queue(lo->lo_queue); Locking? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
