The fuse inode io mode is determined by the mode of its open files/mmaps and parallel dio opens and expressed in the value of fi->iocachectr: > 0 - caching io: files open in caching mode or mmap on direct_io file < 0 - parallel dio: direct io mode with parallel dio writes enabled == 0 - direct io: no files open in caching mode and no files mmaped Note that iocachectr value of 0 might become positive or negative, while non-parallel dio is getting processed. direct_io mmap uses page cache, so first mmap will mark the file as ff->io_opened and increment fi->iocachectr to enter the caching io mode. If the server opens the file in caching mode while it is already open for parallel dio or vice versa the open fails. This allows executing parallel dio when inode is not in caching mode and no mmaps have been performed on the inode in question.

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.
