Jeff Layton 94cc0877ca ceph: add new "nopagecache" option 
CephFS is a bit unlike most other filesystems in that it only
conditionally does buffered I/O based on the caps that it gets from the
MDS. In most cases, unless there is contended access for an inode the
MDS does give Fbc caps to the client, so the unbuffered codepaths are
only infrequently traveled and are difficult to test.

At one time, the "-o sync" mount option would give you this behavior,
but that was removed in commit 7ab9b38070 ("ceph: Don't use
ceph-sync-mode for synchronous-fs.").

Add a new mount option to tell the client to ignore Fbc caps when doing
I/O, and to use the synchronous codepaths exclusively, even on
non-O_DIRECT file descriptors. We already have an ioctl that forces this
behavior on a per-file basis, so we can just always set the CEPH_F_SYNC
flag in the file description on such mounts.

Additionally, this patch also changes the client to not request Fbc when
doing direct I/O. We aren't using the cache with O_DIRECT so we don't
have any need for those caps.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
