[ Upstream commit 4e5d208cc9bd5fbc95d536fa223b4b14c37b8ca8 ] I'm not sure why this check was ever here. After updating to 6.6 I suddenly found caching had been turned on by default and neither cache=none nor the new directio would turn it off. After walking through the new code very manually I realized that it's because the caching has to be, in effect, turned off explicitly by setting P9L_DIRECT and whenever a file has a flag, in my case QTAPPEND, it doesn't get set. Setting aside QTDIR which seems to ignore the new fid->mode entirely, the rest of these either should be subject to the same cache rules as every other QTFILE or perhaps very explicitly not cached in the case of QTAUTH.

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.
