I tried your patch, but it doesn't seem to address this issue. I still got -EIO with a normal file access, and a page filled by 0x01 with O_DIRECT.

If I understand your patch, this address the case where there is no any checksum, which is not this case. The checksum exists and it is valid. It is the data wrong.
