Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 087/135] nfs: fix dio deadlock when O_DIRECT flag is flipped
Date
3.16.7-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peng Tao <tao.peng@primarydata.com>

commit ee8a1a8b160a87dc3a9c81a86796aa4db85ea815 upstream.

We only support swap file calling nfs_direct_IO. However, application
might be able to get to nfs_direct_IO if it toggles O_DIRECT flag
during IO and it can deadlock because we grab inode->i_mutex in
nfs_file_direct_write(). So return 0 for such case. Then the generic
layer will fall back to buffer IO.
