Subject: [PATCH] erofs: add missing documentation about `directio` mount option
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:52:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122025252.3724634-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
Document the `directio` mount option for file-backed mounts, because
recent users need this and this mount option has been available since
commit 6422cde1b0d5 ("erofs: use buffered I/O for file-backed mounts
by default") without proper documentation.
