Well, iomap is just a different generic framework for doing direct IO. The fact that you can observe the problem both with iomap and the old direct IO framework is one of the reasons why I think the problem is actually that the file has holes (unallocated space in the middle). > > echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ext4/ext4_ind_map_blocks_exit/enable > > echo iomap_dio_rw >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter > > echo "function_graph" >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer If you want to trace a kernel were ext4 direct IO path is not yet converted to iomap framework you need to replace tracing of iomap_dio_rw with: echo __blockdev_direct_IO >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter > > And then gather output from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe.
