[PATCH] iomap: iomap that extends beyond EOF should be marked dirty

[PATCH] iomap: iomap that extends beyond EOF should be marked dirty

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When doing a direct IO that spans the current EOF, and there are
written blocks beyond EOF that extend beyond the current write, the
only metadata update that needs to be done is a file size extension.

However, we don't mark such iomaps as IOMAP_F_DIRTY to indicate that
there is IO completion metadata updates required, and hence we may
fail to correctly sync file size extensions made in IO completion
when O_DSYNC writes are beingt used and the hardware supports FUA.

Hence when setting IOMAP_F_DIRTY, we need to also take into account
whether the iomap spans the current EOF. If it does, then we need to
mark it dirty so that IO completion will call generic_write_sync()
to flush the inode size update to stable storage correctly.

Urk, self-nack.

I put this in the wrong function. Too much spaghetti that all looks
similar in the XFS iomap code now. Will repost in a minute.

This ought to be in xfs_direct_write_iomap_begin(), right?

(Hoping to see another rev of Christoph's iomap cleanup series... ;))

I need to finish off all the nitpicks on the first iomap series..

Also we'll want this patch in first as it is 5.4 / -stable material,
so I'll need to rebase on top of that as well.

[PATCH v2] iomap: iomap that extends beyond EOF should be marked dirty

V2: put the XFS code in the right function, tested on non-FUA

Re: [PATCH v2] iomap: iomap that extends beyond EOF should be marked dirty

[Christoph Hellwig]

I wonder if the i_size check should be done in core, similar to the
iomap_block_needs_zeroing helper.  But independent of what is nicer
this version does look correct to me:

Ext4 is not currently using iomap for any kind of writing right now,
so perhaps this should land via Matthew's patchset?

It does for DAX, which is one of the consumers of IOMAP_F_DIRTY.

Ah, right, I had forgotten about DAX.
