It is. I have an almost working iomap direct I/O implementation, which
simplifies a lot of this. Partially because it expects sane locking
(a shared lock should be held over read, fortunately we now have i_rwsem
for that) and allows less opt-in/out behavior, and partially just
because we have so much better infrastructure now (iomap, bio chaining,
iov_iters, ...).
The iomap version is still work in progress, but I'm about to post
a cut down version for block devices which reduces I/O latency by
20%.
