Subject: [PATCH] erofs: support direct IO for uncompressed file

direct IO is useful in certain scenarios for uncompressed files.
For example, it can avoid double pagecache when use the uncompressed
file to mount upper layer filesystem.

In addition, another patch adds direct IO test for the stress tool
which was mentioned here:

It would be better to fold in check_direct_IO, also the READ_ONCE above
is somewhat weird...

No rush here, since 5.11-rc1 haven't be out yet, we have >= 2 months to
work it out.

Thanks,

Please do not add new callers of __blockdev_direct_IO and use the modern
iomap variant instead.

We've talked about this topic before. The current status is that iomap
doesn't support tail-packing inline data yet (Chao once sent out a version),
and erofs only cares about read intrastructure for now (So we don't think
more about how to deal with tail-packing inline write path). Plus, the
original patch was once lack of inline data regression test from gfs2 folks.

The main use case I know so far is to enable direct I/O and leave loop images
uncompressed for loop devices. And making the content of the loop images
compressed to avoid double caching.

Personally, I'd like to convert it to iomap infrastructure as well. So if it
has some concern for __blockdev_direct_IO as an interim solution, hope that
Jianan could pick this work up. That would be better.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

So resend Chaos prep patch as part of the series switching parts of
erofs to iomap. We need to move things off the old infrastructure instead
of adding more users and everyone needs to help a little.

Hi Christoph,

The reason we use dio is because we need to deploy the patch on some
early kernel versions, and we don't pay much attention to the change of
iomap. Anyway, I will study the problem mentioned by Gao Xiang and try
to convert the current patch to iomap.

Thanks,

Jianan

No, that is never an excuse for upstream development.

Ok, personally I also agree this, let's go further in this way.
