When I put the code outside the loop it actually looked worse (imo): } goto out; would_block: error = -EAGAIN; out: ... > > Other than that, it looks like you put the check in all the right places > in that function. > >> out: >> @@ -1697,6 +1715,9 @@ generic_file_read_iter(struct kiocb *iocb, struct >> iov_iter *iter, int flags) >> size_t count = iov_iter_count(iter); >> loff_t size; >> >> + if (flags & O_NONBLOCK) >> + return -EAGAIN; >> + > > If a program is attempting non-blocking reads on a file opened with > O_DIRECT, I think returning -EAGAIN is very misleading. Better to > return -EINVAL in this case, and maybe check that earlier in the stack? Point taken and I can fix this for the next version further up the stack. A longer term question is how the flags the file is open with interact with the read/write flags ... since I imagine folks will want to add other flags (like force a SYNC write). > > Cheers, > Jeff -- Milosz Tanski CTO 16 East 34th Street, 15th floor New York, NY 10016 p: 646-253-9055 e: mil...@adfin.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
