Subject: [PATCH 20/22] xfs: add support for lazy direct read bounce buffering
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:49:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723145000.116419-21-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723145000.116419-1-hch@lst.de>
Currently direct I/O reads always bounce buffer the I/O to deal with
the case where userspace is modifying the buffer in-flight while
reading data into it.
This is a very expensive countermeasure for something no sane application
should do, so try to avoid it by reading without a bounce buffer first,
and retrying the read on a checksum failure. This avoids the cost of
bounce buffering for sanely behave applications. For the rare case of
an application regularly modifying in-flight buffers, allow forcing the
always bounce buffer behavior through sysfs. And now that we have that
knob, allow disabling read-side bounce buffering entirely for those who
live fast and dangerous.
