From e12a0edafeb5019aac74114b62a4703f79c5c693 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiachen Zhang Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 18:59:57 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] virtiofsd: Add -o allow_direct_io|no_allow_direct_io options Due to the commit 65da4539803373ec4eec97ffc49ee90083e56efd, the O_DIRECT open flag of guest applications will be discarded by virtiofsd. While this behavior makes it consistent with the virtio-9p scheme when guest applications use direct I/O, we no longer have any chance to bypass the host page cache. Therefore, we add a flag 'allow_direct_io' to lo_data. If '-o no_allow_direct_io' option is added, or none of '-o allow_direct_io' or '-o no_allow_direct_io' is added, the 'allow_direct_io' will be set to 0, and virtiofsd discards O_DIRECT as before. If '-o allow_direct_io' is added to the starting command-line, 'allow_direct_io' will be set to 1, so that the O_DIRECT flags will be retained and host page cache can be bypassed.
