From 17879e8f865f4ed8b6f9041a2687ad40f13ae460 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 11:24:50 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix locking for DAX writes So far DAX writes inherited the locking from direct I/O writes, but the direct I/O model of using shared locks for writes is actually wrong for DAX. For direct I/O we're out of any standards and don't have to provide the Posix required exclusion between writers, but for DAX which gets transparently enable on applications without any knowledge of it we can't simply drop the requirement. Even worse this only happens for aligned writes and thus doesn't show up for many typical use cases.
