LOCALIO's misaligned DIO WRITE support requires synchronous IO for any
misaligned head and/or tail that are issued using buffered IO. In
addition, it is important that the O_DIRECT middle be on stable
storage upon its completion via AIO.
Otherwise, a misaligned DIO WRITE could mix buffered IO for the
head/tail and direct IO for the DIO-aligned middle -- which could lead
to problems associated with deferred writes to stable storage (such as
out of order partial completions causing incorrect advancement of the
file's offset, etc).
Fixes: c817248fc8 ("nfs/localio: add proper O_DIRECT support for READ and WRITE")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
