nfs/localio: add direct IO enablement with sync and async IO support
This commit simply adds the required O_DIRECT plumbing. It doesn't address the fact that NFS doesn't ensure all writes are page aligned (nor device logical block size aligned as required by O_DIRECT). Because NFS will read-modify-write for IO that isn't aligned, LOCALIO will not use O_DIRECT semantics by default if/when an application requests the use of O_DIRECT. Allow the use of O_DIRECT semantics by: 1: Adding a flag to the nfs_pgio_header struct to allow the NFS O_DIRECT layer to signal that O_DIRECT was used by the application 2: Adding a 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' NFS module parameter that when enabled will cause LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT semantics (this may cause IO to fail if applications do not properly align their IO). This commit is derived from code developed by Weston Andros Adamson. Signed-off-by:Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org> Reviewed-by:
