+ *
+ * High-performance uncached I/O for the Linux NFS client
+ *
+ * There are important applications whose performance or correctness
+ * depends on uncached access to file data.  Database clusters
+ * (multiple copies of the same instance running on separate hosts)
+ * implement their own cache coherency protocol that subsumes file
+ * system cache protocols.  Applications that process datasets
+ * considerably larger than the client's memory do not always benefit
+ * from a local cache.  A streaming video server, for instance, has no
+ * need to cache the contents of a file.
+ *
+ * When an application requests uncached I/O, all read and write requests
+ * are made directly to the server; data stored or fetched via these
+ * requests is not cached in the Linux page cache.  The client does not
+ * correct unaligned requests from applications.  All requested bytes are
+ * held on permanent storage before a direct write system call returns to
+ * an application.
+ *
+ * Solaris implements an uncached I/O facility called directio() that
+ * is used for backups and sequential I/O to very large files.  Solaris
+ * also supports uncaching whole NFS partitions with "-o forcedirectio,"
+ * an undocumented mount option.
+ *
+ * Designed by Jeff Kimmel, Chuck Lever, and Trond Myklebust, with
+ * help from Andrew Morton.
