open.2: Describe race of direct read and fork() for unaligned buffers
...
This is a long standing problem (or a surprising feature) in our
implementation of get_user_pages() (used by direct IO). Since
several attempts to fix it failed (e.g.,
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2009-04/msg06542.html ,
or http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0903.1/01498.html
refused in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/31569 )
and it's not completely clear whether we really want to fix
it given the costs. Let's at least document it.
