[PATCH 2/4] f2fs: report EINVAL for unalignment direct IO

[Yunlei He]

We run ltp testcase with f2fs and obtain a TFAIL in diotest4, the result in detail is
as fallow:

dio04

<<<test_start>>>
tag=dio04 stime=1432278894
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
<<<test_output>>>
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:129: write allows odd count.returns 1: Success
diotest4    4  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:183: Odd count of read and write
diotest4    5  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

the result of ext4 with same environment:

dio04

<<<test_start>>>
tag=dio04 stime=1432259643
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
<<<test_output>>>
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TPASS  :  Odd count of read and write
diotest4    4  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

The reason is that when triggering DIO in f2fs, we will return zero value
in ->direct_IO if writer's buffer offset, file offset and transfer size is
not alignment to block size of filesystem, resulting in falling back into
buffered write instead of returning -EINVAL.

This patch fixes that problem by returning correct error number for above
case, and removing the judgement condition in check_direct_IO to make sure
the verification will be enabled for direct reader too.

Besides, Jaegeuk Kim pointed out that there is expectional cases we should
always make direct-io falling back into buffered write, such as dio in
encrypted file.
