From 0dbf5f20652108106cb822ad7662c786baaa03ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislav Kinsburskiy Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2015 19:41:31 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] fcntl: allow to set O_DIRECT flag on pipe With packetized mode for pipes, it's not possible to set O_DIRECT on pipe file via sys_fcntl, because of unsupported sanity checks. Ability to set this flag will be used by CRIU to migrate packetized pipes. v2: Fixed typos and mode variable to check.
