[PATCH v2 1/3] fs: remove redundant cache invalidation after async direct-io write

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Sat Nov 02 2019 - 09:13:22 EST


Function generic_file_direct_write() invalidates cache at entry. Second
time this should be done when request completes. But this function calls
second invalidation at exit unconditionally even for async requests.

This patch skips second invalidation for async requests (-EIOCBQUEUED).
