Merge tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.statx.dio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs direct-io updates from Christian Brauner:
 "File systems that write out of place usually require different
  alignment for direct I/O writes than what they can do for reads.

  Add a separate dio read align field to statx, as many out of place
  write file systems can easily do reads aligned to the device sector
  size, but require bigger alignment for writes.

  This is usually papered over by falling back to buffered I/O for
  smaller writes and doing read-modify-write cycles, but performance for
  this sucks, so applications benefit from knowing the actual write
  alignment"

* tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.statx.dio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
  xfs: report larger dio alignment for COW inodes
  xfs: report the correct read/write dio alignment for reflinked inodes
  xfs: cleanup xfs_vn_getattr
  fs: add STATX_DIO_READ_ALIGN
  fs: reformat the statx definition
