Subject: why xfs_write() race with O_DIRECT only?
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:10:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49CD7912.6080508@GreenKey.net> (raw)

I'm guessing this is the race fixed in 2.6.29.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=25051158

But my app is running O_DIRECT and only calls pwrite(). Is there
something I'm missing that explains the aio stuff etc.?
