From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>
If two programs simultaneously try to write to the same part of a file
via direct IO and buffered IO, there's a chance that the post-diowrite
pagecache invalidation will fail on the dirty page. When this happens,
the dio write succeeded, which means that the page cache is no longer
coherent with the disk! Programs are not supposed to mix IO types and
this is a clear case of data corruption, so store an EIO which will be
reflected to userspace during the next fsync. Get rid of the WARN_ON
to assuage the fuzz-tester complaints.
