    Add bounds checking for direct I/O, do the cache invalidation for
    data coherency on direct I/O.

Out of curiosity, which repository is this from please? Even google 
doesn't seem to know about this SHA.

because oss.sgi.com is no longer with us, it's fallen out of all the
search engines.  It was from the "archive/xfs-import.git" tree on
oss.sgi.com:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120326044237/http://oss.sgi.com:80/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi

but archive.org doesn't have a copy of the git tree. It contained
the XFS history right back to the first Irix commit in 1993. Some of
us still have copies of it sitting around....

For cases like this, would it be worth pushing it to git.kernel.org as an 
frozen historical reference archive?

Thanks,
