Looks good, but I have a few pretty minor things I think
you should consider fixing before you commit.

How about "rather than the sector size in @rsb".

What you have is OK, but my parser had to backtrack
to be sure I knew what "that" was referring to.

Why do you fill in sectsize here?  I don't know that
you're guaranteed it will still be intact if the ioctl()
below fails.  If that's your reason I'd prefer to see it
filled in after the do_warn() call.

                     ...otherwise the combination is a pretty long line.

Maybe don't bother turning off direct I/O if it's not
already set in old_flags.
