vfs_iter_{read,write} always perform direct I/O when the file has the
O_DIRECT flag set, which breaks disabling direct I/O using the
LOOP_SET_STATUS / LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctls.
This was recenly reported as a regression, but as far as I can tell
was only uncovered by better checking for block sizes and has been
around since the direct I/O support was added.
Fix this by using the existing aio code that calls the raw read/write
iter methods instead. Note that despite the comments there is no need
for block drivers to ever call flush_dcache_page themselves, and the
call is a left-over from prehistoric times.

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 reStructuredText 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.
