------------------------------------------------------
Subject: reiserfs: do not add save links for O_DIRECT writes
From: Vladimir V. Saveliev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We add a save link for O_DIRECT writes to protect the i_size against the
crashes before we actually finish the I/O. If we hit an -ENOSPC in
aops->prepare_write(), we would do a truncate() to release the blocks which
might have got initialized. Now the truncate would add another save link
for the same inode causing a reiserfs panic for having multiple save links
for the same inode.
