[RFC PATCH v1 8/8] nfs: allow P2PDMA pages for O_DIRECT on RDMA mounts
From: Pranjal Shrivastava
Date: Tue Oct 06 2026 - 19:33:58 EST
Pass ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA when extracting O_DIRECT pages on mounts that
use the RDMA transport and not pNFS. The RDMA transport moves such pages
only by DMA, and fails the RPC with -EREMOTEIO if the device cannot
reach them.
On other mounts, extracting P2PDMA pages still fails with -EREMOTEIO.
