[PATCH] erofs: add missing documentation about `directio` mount option
Posted by Gao Xiang 2 weeks, 2 days ago
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.
