Hi Zorro,

Yes, the patch is still being worked on. I think we can wait till then
to not spook the distro CI testing to start reporting multiple bug
reports using this testcase :P

Ok, I guess I can just remove this line "_require_odirect". Because in the
next line I anyway include _require_aiodio.

Yes, someday maybe :)
But I am not sure what plan Darrick has about it. Was there any
history behind no aio-dio support in xfs_io? Just curious since the
discussion came up.


Thanks for the review!
