This is similar to what already happens in the write case.  If we have a short
read while doing O_DIRECT, instead of just returning, fallthrough and try to
read the rest via buffered IO.  BTRFS needs this because if we encounter a
compressed or inline extent during DIO, we need to fallback on buffered.  If the
extent is compressed we need to read the entire thing into memory and
de-compress it into the users pages.  I have tested this with fsx and everything
works great.  Thanks,

Won't this mean that any direct IO read that spans EOF  (i.e. get a
short read) now attempt a buffered IO (that will fail) before returning?

Cheers,

Dave.

Hmm yeah you are right.  What would be an acceptable way to avoid this, do a

if (retval || !count || ppos >= i_size_read(inode))
	goto out;

type thing?  Thanks,

Josef

Yes, that looks like it would work to me. Might be worth a comment,
though.

Cheers,

Dave.
