Yes.

I guess the best way of doing so would be adding ->direct_io2 and
KERNEL24_HAS_ODIRECT_2 define.

Correct?

That is what the last patch I sent you does (also sent to l-k). Should
I resend?

Cheers,

IMO, yes.

Sounds like it :)

No, no need to resend. I have it.

I released -pre5 so quickly because of the IO hang fix, which is pretty
important. (Christoph: your vmap patch will go on -pre6 too once I read
it).

Well, Jeff, Christoph, do you have any comments on Trond's new
O_DIRECT patch?

I haven't looked at it closely, yet.

I looked at it, and it looked ok to me.  Basically I was wondering was 
Christoph thought at this point...

Patch looks fine.  I don't really like the directfileio name, but
hey, this cludge is so ugly that it doesn't really matter anymore..

Feel free to suggest a better one. I chose it 'cos I hate the idea of
version numbers on function names (i.e. direct_iO2).

Agreed...

I did not touch the code, I suppose nobody has tried to build it as a module.

Something was touched since I did not have this problem with the
2.4.21-ac
series which included hfsplus. This problem arrived with 2.4.22-pre3
(when hfsplus was introduced) so there was some merge issue maybe?

Actually, diffing .22-pre3-ac1 and .22-pre3 shows a few more fixes with
operator precedence missing in -pre3, like

-       if (!file->f_flags & O_DIRECT)
+       if (!(file->f_flags & O_DIRECT))

Which I am sure must be fixed.
