Linus Torvalds 725737e7c2 STATX_DIOALIGN for 6.1
Make statx() support reporting direct I/O (DIO) alignment information.
 This provides a generic interface for userspace programs to determine
 whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.
 Specifically, STATX_DIOALIGN works on block devices, and on regular
 files when their containing filesystem has implemented support.
 
 An interface like this has been requested for years, since the
 conditions for when DIO is supported in Linux have gotten increasingly
 complex over time.  Today, DIO support and alignment requirements can be
 affected by various filesystem features such as multi-device support,
 data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity, compression,
 checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode, etc.  Further complicating
 things, Linux v6.0 relaxed the traditional rule of DIO needing to be
 aligned to the block device's logical block size; now user buffers (but
 not file offsets) only need to be aligned to the DMA alignment.
 
 The approach of uplifting the XFS specific ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO was
 discarded in favor of creating a clean new interface with statx().
