From b80474b432913f73cce8db001e9fa3104f9b79ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tao Ma Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:28:47 +0800 Subject: ocfs2: Use buffer IO if we are appending a file. In ocfs2_file_aio_write, we will prevent direct io if we find that we are appending(changing i_size) and call generic_file_aio_write_nolock. But actually O_DIRECT flag is there and this function will call generic_file_direct_write eventually which will update i_size and leave di->i_size alone. The bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1173. So this patch let ocfs2_direct_IO returns 0 directly if we are appending so that buffered write will be called and di->i_size get updated successfully. And this is also what we want in ocfs2_file_aio_write.
