From: Dave Chinner
The historic requirement for XFS to invalidate cached pages on
direct IO reads has been lost in the twisty pages of history - it was
inherited from Irix, which implemented page cache invalidation on
read as a method of working around problems synchronising page
cache state
Changes since v1:
- use -ENOTBLK for the direct to buffered I/O fallback everywhere
- document the choice of -ENOTBLK better
- update a comment in XFS
Failing to invalid the page cache means data in incoherent, which is
a very bad state for the system. Always fall back to buffered I/O
through the page cache if we can't invalidate mappings.

This is what the classic fs/direct-io.c implementation and thuse other
file systems use.

Michael, could we add this to manpages?
