I'm open to discussion, though. I'd be fine with that - if the file systems can get at all the checks and iov_iter stuff it lets them fine tune their write logic. Ocfs2 for instance has very different locking for o_direct / buffered and so goes to some bit of pain to avoid the fallback code in __generic_file_aio_write_nolock(). It'd be much simpler to just call some helpers for buffered writes and change the code to never do that. --Mark -- Mark Fasheh Senior Software Developer, Oracle mark.fasheh@xxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
