From a2ad63daa88b9d6846976fd2a0b5e4f5cfc58377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 9 May 2022 18:20:49 -0700 Subject: VFS: add FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT file flag Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation. This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this. Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences). do_dentry_open() will set this flag if ->direct_IO is present, so filesystems do not need to be changed. NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO entry in the address_space_operations for files. Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be changed to set this flag instead.
