This patchset makes the statx() system call return direct I/O (DIO) alignment information. This allows userspace to easily determine whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.
Al, any thoughts on this patchset, and do you plan to apply it for 6.1? Ideally this would go through the VFS tree. If not, I suppose I'll need to have it added to linux-next and send the pull request myself. - Eric
