From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx> According to xfstest generic/240, applications seem to expect direct I/O writes to either complete as a whole or to fail; short direct I/O writes are apparently not appreciated. This means that when only part of an asynchronous direct I/O write succeeds, we can either fail the entire write, or we can wait for the partial write to complete and retry the remaining write as buffered I/O. The old __blockdev_direct_IO helper has code for waiting for partial writes to complete; the new iomap_dio_rw iomap helper does not. The above mentioned fallback mode is needed for gfs2, which doesn't allow block allocations under direct I/O to avoid taking cluster-wide exclusive locks. As a consequence, an asynchronous direct I/O write to a file range that contains a hole will result in a short write. In that case, wait for the short write to complete to allow gfs2 to recover.
