Subject: [PATCH v2] loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2019 09:05:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191011160545.GD13098@magnolia> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191010170239.GC13098@magnolia>

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

Currently, if the loop device receives a WRITE_ZEROES request, it asks
the underlying filesystem to punch out the range.  This behavior is
correct if unmapping is allowed.  However, a NOUNMAP request means that
the caller forbids us from freeing the storage backing the range, so
punching out the range is incorrect behavior.

To satisfy a NOUNMAP | WRITE_ZEROES request, loop should ask the
underlying filesystem to FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, which is (according to
the fallocate documentation) required to ensure that the entire range is
backed by real storage, which suffices for our purposes.

Fixes: 19372e2769179dd ("loop: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES")
