From: Miklos Szeredi mszeredi@redhat.com Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2021 11:23:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fix IOCB_DIRECT if underlying fs doesn't support direct IO
Normally the check at open time suffices, but e.g loop device does set IOCB_DIRECT after doing its own checks (which are not sufficent for overlayfs).
Make sure we don't call the underlying filesystem read/write method with the IOCB_DIRECT if it's not supported.
