[PULL 09/12] file-posix: Allow byte-aligned O_DIRECT with NFS


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [PULL 09/12] file-posix: Allow byte-aligned O_DIRECT with NFS
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 14:55:07 +0200

Since commit a6b257a08e3 ('file-posix: Handle undetectable alignment'),
we assume that if we open a file with O_DIRECT and alignment probing
returns 1, we just couldn't find out the real alignment requirement
because some filesystems make the requirement only for allocated blocks.
In this case, a safe default of 4k is used.

This is too strict for NFS, which does actually allow byte-aligned
requests even with O_DIRECT. Because we can't distinguish both cases
with generic code, let's just look at the file system magic and disable
s->needs_alignment for NFS. This way, O_DIRECT can still be used on NFS
for images that are not aligned to 4k.
