Hi, Amir
Hi Qi,

In the commit [1], performing read/write operations with DIRECT_IO on
a FUSE file path does not trigger FUSE passthrough. I am unclear about
the reason behind this behavior. Is it possible to modify the call
sequence to support passthrough for files opened with DIRECT_IO?
Are you talking about files opened by user with O_DIRECT or
files open by server with FOPEN_DIRECT_IO?

Those are two different things.
IIRC, O_DIRECT to a backing passthrough file should be possible.

Hi, Amir
Thank you for your response. I am performing read/write operations on
a file under a FUSE path opened with O_DIRECT, using code similar to [1].
However, it seems that the FUSE daemon adds FOPEN_DIRECT_IO, as Ed
mentioned. I need to further investigate the FUSE daemon code to confirm
the reason behind this behavior.

[1]
fd_in = open(src_path, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
fd_out = open(dst_path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_DIRECT, 0644);

Thanks,
Qi.

Thank you!

When server requests to open a file with FOPEN_DIRECT_IO,
it affects how FUSE_READ/FUSE_WRITE requests are made.

When server requests to open a file with FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH,
it means that FUSE_READ/FUSE_WRITE requests are not to be
expected at all, so these two options are somewhat conflicting.

Therefore, I do not know what you aim to achieve by your patch.

However, please note this comment in iomode.c:
  * A combination of FOPEN_PASSTHROUGH and FOPEN_DIRECT_IO
    means that read/write
  * operations go directly to the server, but mmap is done on the backing file.

So this is a special mode that the server can request in order to do
passthrough mmap but still send FUSE_READ/FUSE_WRITE requests
to the server.

What is your use case? What are you trying to achieve that is not
currently possible?

Thanks,
Amir.
