I wouldn't say "never", but we are not going to change XFS behaviour
because btrfs has a page invalidation vs DIO bug in it...
If you want to make a specific filesystem fall back to buffered IO
in this case, pass a new flag into iomap_dio_rw() to conditionally
abort the DIO on invalidation failure and let filesystem
implementations opt-in to use that flag.
Cheers,
Dave.
