In xfstests generic/465 tests failed. Because O_DIRECT r/w use async rpc calls, when r/w rpc calls are running concurrently we may read partial data which is wrong. For example as follows. user buffer /--------\ | |XXXX| rpc0 rpc1 When rpc0 runs it encounters eof so return 0, then another writes something. When rpc1 runs it returns some data. The total data buffer contains wrong data. In this patch we check eof mark for each direct request. If encounters eof then set eof mark in the request, when we meet it again report -EAGAIN error. In nfs_direct_complete we convert -EAGAIN as if read nothing. When the reader issue another read it will read ok.
