Currently, IOCB_NOWAIT is ignored in direct io, REQ_NOWAIT is only set when IOCB_HIPRI is set. But REQ_NOWAIT should be set as well when IOCB_NOWAIT is set. Signed-off-by: Hao Xu <haoxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi all, I tested fio io_uring direct read for a file on ext4 filesystem on a nvme ssd. I found that IOCB_NOWAIT is ignored in iomap layer, which means REQ_NOWAIT is not set in bio->bi_opf. This makes nowait IO a normal IO. Since I'm new to iomap and block layer, I sincerely ask yours opinions in case I misunderstand the code which is very likely to happen.:) fs/block_dev.c | 3 +++ fs/iomap/direct-io.c | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/block_dev.c b/fs/block_dev.c index 9e84b1928b94..b7db3b7e2ba1 100644 --- a/fs/block_dev.c +++ b/fs/block_dev.c @@ -424,6 +424,9 @@ static void blkdev_bio_end_io(struct bio *bio) if (!nr_pages) { bool polled = false; + if ((iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) && !is_sync) + bio->bi_opf |= REQ_NOWAIT; + if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_HIPRI) { bio_set_polled(bio, iocb); polled = true; diff --git a/fs/iomap/direct-io.c b/fs/iomap/direct-io.c index 933f234d5bec..22f7488bf5e5 100644 --- a/fs/iomap/direct-io.c +++ b/fs/iomap/direct-io.c @@ -64,6 +64,9 @@ static void iomap_dio_submit_bio(struct iomap_dio *dio, struct iomap *iomap, { atomic_inc(&dio->ref); + if ((dio->iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) && !is_sync_kiocb(dio->iocb)) + bio->bi_opf |= REQ_NOWAIT; + if (dio->iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_HIPRI) bio_set_polled(bio, dio->iocb); -- 1.8.3.1
