Yes, then we need to check if this is a overwrite before doing direct-io.

I think that we should not consider that layer lock, otherwise, the code change will become more and more complex and big.
I also refer to ext4 file system code change for this feature(728fbc0e10b7f3ce2ee043b32e3453fd5201c055), they did not do any change in that layer.
