I think we should add an msync in front of O_DIRECT reads too (msync won't hurt other users, and it'll provide full coherency), everything else is ok (the msync can be added as an incremental patch). We applied it to SUSE (without the msync) to fix your crash in pdflush. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
