[PATCH] direct-io: use read lock for DIO_LOCKING flag

From: Chao Yu
Date: Thu Apr 15 2021 - 05:44:01 EST


9902af79c01a ("parallel lookups: actual switch to rwsem") changes inode
lock from mutex to rwsem, however, we forgot to adjust lock for
DIO_LOCKING flag in do_blockdev_direct_IO(), so let's change to hold read
lock to mitigate performance regression in the case of read DIO vs read DIO,
meanwhile it still keeps original functionality of avoiding buffered access
vs direct access.
