Wouldn't we be in some other function if we're doing an aligned direct write?" Then I looked upthread to where Christph said he'd renamed it IOMAP_DIO_SUBBLOCK, but I didn't think that was sufficiently better: if (!(flags & IOMAP_DIO_SUBBLOCK)) iomap_dio_wait(...); This flag doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with the iocb asking for an (fsblock-)unaligned write or the iocb saying that the write involves sub-block io -- this flag really means "I require a stable written mapping, no post-processing (of the disk block) allowed". Admittedly the comment above the definition of IOMAP_DIO_UNALIGNED actually says this, but as we all know I sometimes like to review patchsets backwards. :P How about... IOMAP_DIO_REQUIRE_OVERWRITE ?
