Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] UDF: Add support for O_DIRECT

  Hello,

  first, you have my address wrong (you had suze instead of suse) which is
why I wasn't getting your email and not replying (missed the patch in LKML
traffic). Second, it's good to CC also linux-fsdevel for UDF related
matters (I tend to use that for UDF announcements etc. so people caring
about UDF can watch there and don't have to read high-volume LKML).

  Sorry, I didn't quite get this. What is the problem with copying all the
data to inode in udf_adinicb_writepage() as it is now?
