Any other information that would be helpful? I don't know for sure, but could you test with the following commit? 69e4747ee9727d660b88d7e1efe0f4afcb35db1b Also, I'll note that it looks like you are doing O_SYNC + O_DIRECT AIO. I'm curious to know what apps use that particular combination. Is this just a test case, or do you have an app which does this in production?
