[PATCH 01/11] NFS: Always enable NFS direct I/O

[Chuck Lever]

Since O_DIRECT is a standard feature that is enabled in most distros,
eliminate the CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO build option, and change the
fs/nfs/Makefile to always build in the NFS direct I/O engine.

-	  This option enables applications to perform uncached I/O on files
-	  in NFS file systems using the O_DIRECT open() flag.  When O_DIRECT
-	  is set for a file, its data is not cached in the system's page
-	  cache.  Data is moved to and from user-level application buffers
-	  directly.  Unlike local disk-based file systems, NFS O_DIRECT has
-	  no alignment restrictions.
-
-	  Unless your program is designed to use O_DIRECT properly, you are
-	  much better off allowing the NFS client to manage data caching for
-	  you.  Misusing O_DIRECT can cause poor server performance or network
-	  storms.  This kernel build option defaults OFF to avoid exposing
-	  system administrators unwittingly to a potentially hazardous
-	  feature.
-
-	  For more details on NFS O_DIRECT, see fs/nfs/direct.c.
-
-	  If unsure, say N.  This reduces the size of the NFS client, and
-	  causes open() to return EINVAL if a file residing in NFS is
-	  opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
