From ee8a1a8b160a87dc3a9c81a86796aa4db85ea815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peng Tao Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:44:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] nfs: fix dio deadlock when O_DIRECT flag is flipped We only support swap file calling nfs_direct_IO. However, application might be able to get to nfs_direct_IO if it toggles O_DIRECT flag during IO and it can deadlock because we grab inode->i_mutex in nfs_file_direct_write(). So return 0 for such case. Then the generic layer will fall back to buffer IO. Signed-off-by: Peng Tao Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust --- Reading git-format-patch failed
