In commit 685d958e (MDEV-14425) we ended up not enabling O_DIRECT writes on the redo log by default, because back then, it was slightly slower on some systems. With commit a635c406 (MDEV-27774) the situation changed. A new test on a NVMe device shows 9% improvement in throughput and over 15% reduction of latency when O_DIRECT writes are enabled. With this change, all the following settings will use O_DIRECT on InnoDB data and log files: innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC Before MDEV-14425, log writes were always buffered on Linux. Between MDEV-14425 and this change, unbuffered log writes were only enabled for innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC.
