fuse_direct_write_iter is basically duplicating what is already
in fuse_cache_write_iter/generic_file_direct_write. That can be
avoided by setting IOCB_DIRECT in fuse_file_write_iter, after that
fuse_cache_write_iter can be used for the FOPEN_DIRECT_IO code path
and fuse_direct_write_iter can be removed.
Before it was using for FOPEN_DIRECT_IO
1) async (!is_sync_kiocb(iocb)) && IOCB_DIRECT
fuse_file_write_iter
fuse_direct_write_iter
fuse_direct_IO
fuse_send_dio
2) sync (is_sync_kiocb(iocb)) or IOCB_DIRECT not being set
fuse_file_write_iter
fuse_direct_write_iter
fuse_send_dio
3) FOPEN_DIRECT_IO not set
Same as the consolidates path below
The new consolidated code path is always
fuse_file_write_iter
fuse_cache_write_iter
generic_file_write_iter
__generic_file_write_iter
generic_file_direct_write
mapping->a_ops->direct_IO / fuse_direct_IO
fuse_send_dio
So in general for FOPEN_DIRECT_IO the code path gets longer. Additionally
fuse_direct_IO does an allocation of struct fuse_io_priv - might be a bit
slower in micro benchmarks.
Also, the IOCB_DIRECT information gets lost (as we now set it outselves).
But then IOCB_DIRECT is directly related to O_DIRECT set in
struct file::f_flags.
An additional change is for condition 2 above, which might will now do
async IO on the condition ff->fm->fc->async_dio. Given that async IO for
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO was especially introduced in commit
'commit 23c94e1cdcbf ("fuse: Switch to using async direct IO for
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO")'
it should not matter. Especially as fuse_direct_IO is blocking for
is_sync_kiocb(), at worst it has another slight overhead.
Advantage is the removal of code paths and conditions and it is now also
possible to remove FOPEN_DIRECT_IO conditions in fuse_send_dio
(in a later patch).
