Subject: [PATCH v8 10/12] NFSD: Combine direct I/O feasibility check with iterator setup
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:46:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027154630.1774-11-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027154630.1774-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
When direct I/O is not feasible (due to missing alignment info,
too-small writes, or no alignment possible), pack the entire
write payload into a single non-DIO segment and follow the usual
direct write I/O path.
This simplifies nfsd_direct_write() by eliminating the fallback path
and the separate nfsd_buffered_write() call - all writes now go
through nfsd_issue_write_dio() which handles both DIO and buffered
segments.
