    Subject[PATCH v3 0/8] make statx() return DIO alignment information
    Date
    This patchset makes the statx() system call return direct I/O (DIO)
    alignment information. This allows userspace to easily determine
    whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.

    Patch 1 adds the basic VFS support for STATX_DIOALIGN. Patch 2 wires it
    up for all block device files. The remaining patches wire it up for
    regular files on ext4 and f2fs. Support for regular files on other
    filesystems can be added later.

    I've also written a man-pages patch, which I'm sending separately.

    Note, f2fs has one corner case where DIO reads are allowed but not DIO
    writes. The proposed statx fields can't represent this. My proposal
    (patch 6) is to just eliminate this case, as it seems much too weird.
    But I'd appreciate any feedback on that part.

    This patchset applies to v5.19-rc2.

    Changed v2 => v3:
    - Dropped the stx_offset_align_optimal field, since its purpose
    wasn't clearly distinguished from the existing stx_blksize.

    - Renamed STATX_IOALIGN to STATX_DIOALIGN, to reflect the new focus
    on DIO only.

    - Similarly, renamed stx_{mem,offset}_align_dio to
    stx_dio_{mem,offset}_align, to reflect the new focus on DIO only.

    - Wired up STATX_DIOALIGN on block device files.

    Changed v1 => v2:
    - No changes.

    Eric Biggers (8):
    statx: add direct I/O alignment information
    vfs: support STATX_DIOALIGN on block devices
    fscrypt: change fscrypt_dio_supported() to prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN
    ext4: support STATX_DIOALIGN
    f2fs: move f2fs_force_buffered_io() into file.c
    f2fs: don't allow DIO reads but not DIO writes
    f2fs: simplify f2fs_force_buffered_io()
    f2fs: support STATX_DIOALIGN
