Merge tag 'statx-dioalign-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux
Pull STATX_DIOALIGN support from Eric Biggers:
"Make statx() support reporting direct I/O (DIO) alignment information.
This provides a generic interface for userspace programs to determine
whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment
restrictions. Specifically, STATX_DIOALIGN works on block devices, and
on regular files when their containing filesystem has implemented
support.
An interface like this has been requested for years, since the
conditions for when DIO is supported in Linux have gotten increasingly
complex over time. Today, DIO support and alignment requirements can
be affected by various filesystem features such as multi-device
support, data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity,
compression, checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode, etc.
Further complicating things, Linux v6.0 relaxed the traditional rule
of DIO needing to be aligned to the block device's logical block size;
now user buffers (but not file offsets) only need to be aligned to the
DMA alignment.
The approach of uplifting the XFS specific ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO was
discarded in favor of creating a clean new interface with statx().
