From fb5527e68d495650a7658fec9a7246bf922db212 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Moyer Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 23:28:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] direct-io: sync and invalidate file region when falling back to buffered write When direct-io falls back to buffered write, it will just leave the dirty data floating about in pagecache, pending regular writeback. But normal direct-io semantics are that IO is synchronous, and that it leaves no pagecache behind. So change the fallback-to-buffered-write code to sync the file region and to then strip away the pagecache, just as a regular direct-io write would do.
