Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] nfs: expose FMODE_NOWAIT for read-only files
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 08:31:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607073155.105314-3-dyudaken@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607073155.105314-1-dyudaken@gmail.com>
NFS O_DIRECT reads already (mostly) handle async requests, with the
exception of locking the inode for direct.
Handle async requests properly by using nfs_start_io_direct_nowait,
and then expose FMODE_NOWAIT since it's now supported for direct reads.
