Subject: [PATCH v5 08/25] fuse: Set direct_io and parallel_direct_writes
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 16:08:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309150856.26800-9-hreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309150856.26800-1-hreitz@redhat.com>
In fuse_open(), set these flags:
- direct_io: We probably actually don't want to have the host page cache
be used for our exports. QEMU block exports are supposed to represent
the image as-is (and thus potentially changing).
This causes a change in iotest 308's reference output.
- parallel_direct_writes: We can (now) cope with parallel writes, so we
should set this flag. For some reason, it doesn't seem to make an
actual performance difference with libfuse, but it does make a
difference without it, so let's set it.
(See "fuse: Copy write buffer content before polling" for further
discussion.)
