[PATCH v2 2/4] fd/direct-io: introduce should_dirty for kernel aio

From: Ming Lei
Date: Tue Jan 13 2015 - 10:45:52 EST


For pages from kernel AIO, it is required to dirty
them before direct IO.

The idea is borrowd from Dave previous post.

Also set ->should_dirty only for ITER_IOVEC pages
based on recent discussion in following link:
