7.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Flynn commit ace72c3d263294df7111477caaeff37438aa10af upstream. nfsd_file_do_acquire() fetches a file's direct I/O alignment attributes (nf_dio_mem_align, nf_dio_offset_align and nf_dio_read_offset_align) only on the branch where NFSD opens the file itself. The other branch, taken when the caller supplies an already-open struct file, stores that file in the nfsd_file and leaves the three alignment fields zero. NFSv4 OPEN with CREATE takes the supplied-file branch: nfsd4_create_file() creates the file with dentry_create() and passes the resulting struct file as open->op_filp, which nfs4_get_vfs_file() hands to nfsd_file_acquire_opened(). The cached nfsd_file therefore keeps zero alignment for its whole life, and nfsd_write_dio_iters_init() refuses direct I/O for every WRITE to a file the client has just created. Observed on an export whose backing device reports a dio_mem_align of 4: all 16 of 16 1 MiB NFSv4.2 writes that followed an OPEN(CREATE) took the buffered path, while 16 of 16 writes to the same file reopened without CREATE went direct. Hoist the nfsd_file_get_dio_attrs() call out of the open branch so that it runs once, for both branches, whenever the acquire has otherwise succeeded. A getattr failure now fails the acquire on the supplied-file branch exactly as it already does on the open branch.
