which local FS supports concurrent direct IO write?

Hello,

I'm looking for a FS in Linux that supports concurrent direct IO write.
ext4 supports concurrent direct IO read if we mount it with dioread_nolock,
but doesn't support concurrent writes. XFS doesn't support concurrent
direct IO at all. It locks the inode exclusive if it's direct IO. I tried
btrfs, and it seems it doesn't support concurrent direct IO either though I
haven't looked into its code.
Is there a local FS that support concurrent direct IO write? It seems NFS
supports it (

but I'm looking for local FS.

Thanks,
Da
