Subject: [PATCH v8 7/9] nfs/direct: add misaligned WRITE handling
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 19:30:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250815233003.55071-8-snitzer@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250815233003.55071-1-snitzer@kernel.org>

Because the NFS client will already happily handle misaligned O_DIRECT
IO (by sending it out to NFSD via RPC) this commit's new capabilities
are for the benefit of LOCALIO and require the nfs modparam:
  localio_O_DIRECT_align_misaligned_IO=Y

When enabled, a misaligned DIO WRITE is split into a head, middle and
tail as needed. The large middle extent is DIO-aligned and the head
and/or tail are misaligned (due to each being a partial page).

The misaligned head and/or tail extents are issued using buffered IO
and the DIO-aligned middle is issued using O_DIRECT.
