Hi, everyone

I am writing to ask if the recently introduced RWF_DONTCACHE [0]https://lwn.net/ml/all/20241203153232.92224-2-axboe@kernel.dk/ (originally named RWF_UNCACHE) in the Linux kernel will be or is already supported by PostgreSQL?

I am not sure if RWF_DONTCACHE will improve PostgreSQL performance. In fact, I think it may even degrade performance. Has anyone tested this?

[0]: https://lwn.net/ml/all/20241203153232.92224-2-axboe@kernel.dk/

Thanks, everyone.
