Re: [PATCH vfs.tmpfs 4/5] tmpfs: trivial support for direct IO

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Please do not add a new ->direct_IO method.  I'm currently working hard
on removing it, just set FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and handle the fallback in
your read_iter/write_iter methods.

But if we just start claiming direct I/O support for file systems that
don't actually support it, I'm starting to seriously wonder why we
bother with the flag at all and don't just allow O_DIRECT opens
to always succeed..
