This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled f2fs: allow direct read for zoned device to the 6.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: f2fs-allow-direct-read-for-zoned-device.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 689fe57e7ecefd2eeba76c32aa569bb3e1e790d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 15:48:24 -0700 Subject: f2fs: allow direct read for zoned device From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 689fe57e7ecefd2eeba76c32aa569bb3e1e790d9 upstream. This reverts dbf8e63f48af ("f2fs: remove device type check for direct IO"), and apply the below first version, since it contributed out-of-order DIO writes. For zoned devices, f2fs forbids direct IO and forces buffered IO to serialize write IOs. However, the constraint does not apply to read IOs.
