xfstest generic/451 intermittently fails. The test does O_DIRECT writes to a file, and then reads back the result using buffered I/O, while running a separate set of tasks that are also doing buffered reads. The client will invalidate the cache prior to a direct write, but it's easy for one of the other readers' replies to race in and reinstantiate the invalidated range with stale data. To fix this, we must to serialize direct I/O writes and buffered reads. We could just sprinkle in some shared locks on the i_rwsem for reads, and increase the exclusive footprint on the write side, but that would cause O_DIRECT writes to end up serialized vs. other direct requests. Instead, borrow the scheme used by nfs.ko. Buffered writes take the i_rwsem exclusively, but buffered reads take a shared lock, allowing them to run in parallel. O_DIRECT requests also take a shared lock, but we need for them to not run in parallel with buffered reads. A flag on the ceph_inode_info is used to indicate whether it's in direct or buffered I/O mode. When a conflicting request is submitted, it will block until the inode can be flipped to the necessary mode.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
