PostgreSQL , direct I/O , wal
仅仅当wal=minimal , max_wal_senders=0时支持dio, 为什么呢?
因为如果写入的wal要被立即读出, 还是开cache快点, 例如有standby时, 需要在wal写入后立即读出, 开cache更快.
man fcntl
F_NOCACHE Turns data caching off/on. A non-zero value in arg turns data caching off. A value of zero in arg turns data caching on.
Support direct I/O on macOS. master github/master

Support direct I/O on macOS.
Macs don't understand O_DIRECT, but they can disable caching with a
separate fcntl() call. Extend the file opening functions in fd.c to
handle this for us if the caller passes in PG_O_DIRECT.
For now, this affects only WAL data and even then only if you set:
max_wal_senders=0
wal_level=minimal
This is not expected to be very useful on its own, but later proposed
patches will make greater use of direct I/O, and it'll be useful for
testing if developers on Macs can see the effects.
