[PATCH v12 0/3] NFSD: Implement NFSD_IO_DIRECT for NFS WRITE

[Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Following on https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/aPAci7O_XK1ljaum@kernel.org/
this series includes the patches needed to make NFSD Direct WRITE
operational.

I still see this during fstests runs with NFSD_IO_DIRECT enabled:

WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1309 at fs/iomap/buffered-io.c:1402 iomap_zero_iter+0x1a4/0x390

No new test failures, but I need to narrow down which test is
triggering this warning.

Applies on the branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/log/?h=nfsd-next
