This probably shows my complete ignorance, but what is the effect on
enforcing the direct I/O writes on the pagecache?
IE what happens for buffered reads? Will the pages be invalidated when a
write has been issued?

Yes, a direct write issued to a file range that has cached pages result
in these pages to be invalidated. But note that in the case of zonefs,
this can happen only in the case of conventional zones. For sequential
zones, this does not happen: reads can be buffered and cache pages but
only for pages below the write pointer. And writes can only be issued at
the write pointer. So there is never any possible overlap between
buffered reads and direct writes.

Oh, indeed, you are correct. That's indeed easy then.

Or do we simply rely on upper layers to ensure no concurrent buffered
and direct I/O is being made?

Nope. VFS, or the file system specific implementation, takes care of
that. See generic_file_direct_write() and its call to
invalidate_inode_pages2_range().

Of course.
One could even say: not applicable, as it won't happen.

Cheers,

Hannes
