However, I want to know why you want to use O_SYNC and O_DIRECT. - what's the advantage of O_SYNC compared with the current approach (sync_file after write)? notably faster? - why do you want to use O_DIRECT with bd_rdrw? bd_aio does aio with O_DIRECT? It's not enough for you? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
