Are you sure about this?

Error description
LINUX O_DIRECT/O_SYNC TAKES TOO MANY IOS
Problem summary
On AIX, the O_SYNC and O_DSYNC are different values and
performance improvement are available because the inode does
not need to be flushed for mtime changes only.
On Linux the flags are the same, so performance is lost.
when databases open files with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC.
