Hi, This series builds on what has been staged in the nfsd-testing branch. This code has proven to work well during my testing. Any suggestions for further refinement are welcome. Changes since v3: - fixed nfsd_vfs_write() so work that only needs to happen once, after IO is submitted, isn't performed each iteration of the for loop, thanks for catching this Chuck. - updated NFSD's misaligned READ and WRITE handling to not use iov_iter_is_aligned() because it will soon be removed upstream. - Chuck, provided both you and Jeff agree with patch 1's incremental changes, patch 1 should be folded into what you already have in your nfsd-testing branch (more justification in patch 1's header) - dropped the NFSD misaligned DIO NFS reexport patch in favor of adding STATX_DIOALIGN support to NFS (the patch to add support will be provided in the next NFS DIRECT v7 patchset that I'll post soon). Changes since v2: - fixed patch 2 by moving redundant work out of nfsd_vfs_write()'s for loop, thanks to Jeff's review. - added Jeff's Reviewed-by to patches 1-3. - Left patch 4 in the series because it is pragmatic, but feel free to drop it if you'd prefer to see this cat skinned a different way. Changes since v1: - switched to using an EVENT_CLASS to create nfsd_analyze_{read,write}_dio - added 4th patch, if user configured use of NFSD_IO_DIRECT then NFS reexports should use it too (in future, with per-export controls we'll have the benefit of finer-grained control; but until then we'd do well to offer comprehensive use of NFSD_IO_DIRECT if it enabled). Thanks, Mike Mike Snitzer (4): NFSD: avoid using iov_iter_is_aligned() in nfsd_iter_read() NFSD: refactor nfsd_read_vector_dio to EVENT_CLASS useful for READ and WRITE NFSD: prepare nfsd_vfs_write() to use O_DIRECT on misaligned WRITEs NFSD: issue WRITEs using O_DIRECT even if IO is misaligned fs/nfsd/trace.h | 52 +++++++++---- fs/nfsd/vfs.c | 199 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 202 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) -- 2.44.0
