Subject: [PATCH 1/2] direct-io: remove IOCB_NOWAIT support
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 08:33:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518063336.507369-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518063336.507369-1-hch@lst.de>
None of the file systems using the legacy direct I/O code actually sets
FMODE_NOWAIT, and if they did this would not work, as the write locking
could not handle the retry. Remove this dead code.
