This version plus the updated "fuse: truncated file if async dio failed
- v2" patch address all the questions I had on the set, so consider it:

I also ran some of your aio/dio performance tests on a basic gluster
volume (single client to server) and repeated positive results. The
results include rewrite numbers (file extending writes generally matched
original throughput). Results in MB/s:

		original / patched
1GigE
dd reads:	~74	/	~104
dd rewrites:	~67	/	~103
aio reads:	~53	/	~110
aio rewrites:	~52	/	~112

10GigE
dd reads:	~175	/	~437
dd rewrites:	~134	/	~390
aio reads:	~84	/	~417
aio rewrites:	~88	/	~401
