From 6e014c621e7271649f0d51e54dbe1db4c10486c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Sun, 24 May 2020 16:53:16 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: don't block for O_DIRECT if IOCB_NOWAIT is set Running with some debug patches to detect illegal blocking triggered the extend/unaligned condition in ext4. If ext4 needs to extend the file (and hence go to buffered IO), or if the app is doing unaligned IO, then ext4 asks the iomap code to wait for IO completion. If the caller asked for no-wait semantics by setting IOCB_NOWAIT, then ext4 should return -EAGAIN instead.
