1 ext4: allow unlocked direct IO when pages are cached
3 From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
5 Currently we do not allow unlocked (meaning without inode_lock) direct
6 IO when the file has any pages cached. This check is not needed anymore
7 as we keep inode lock until ext4_direct_IO_write() and thus can happily
8 writeback and evict any pages conflicting with current direct IO write.
