Linux kernel source tree
3feec68563
This commit simply adds the required O_DIRECT plumbing. It doesn't address the fact that NFS doesn't ensure all writes are page aligned (nor device logical block size aligned as required by O_DIRECT). Because NFS will read-modify-write for IO that isn't aligned, LOCALIO will not use O_DIRECT semantics by default if/when an application requests the use of O_DIRECT. Allow the use of O_DIRECT semantics by: 1: Adding a flag to the nfs_pgio_header struct to allow the NFS O_DIRECT layer to signal that O_DIRECT was used by the application 2: Adding a 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' NFS module parameter that when enabled will cause LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT semantics (this may cause IO to fail if applications do not properly align their IO). This commit is derived from code developed by Weston Andros Adamson.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
