Andreas Kling a7b70c62d7 Kernel: Fix broken disk cache behavior with O_DIRECT
When writing into a block via an O_DIRECT open file description, we
would first flush every dirty block *except* the one we're about to
write into.

The purpose of flushing is to ensure coherency when mixing direct and
indirect accesses to the same file. This patch fixes the issue by only
flushing the affected block.

Our behavior was totally backwards and could end up doing a lot of
unnecessary work while avoiding the work that actually mattered.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:
