Subject: [PATCH v7 10/11] ext4: update ext4_sync_file() to not use __generic_file_fsync()
Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2019 23:02:23 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3495f35ef67f2021b567e28e6f59222e583689b8.1572949325.git.mbobrowski@mbobrowski.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1572949325.git.mbobrowski@mbobrowski.org>
When the filesystem is created without a journal, we eventually call
into __generic_file_fsync() in order to write out all the modified
in-core data to the permanent storage device. This function happens to
try and obtain an inode_lock() while synchronizing the files buffer
and it's associated metadata.
Generally, this is fine, however it becomes a problem when there is
higher level code that has already obtained an inode_lock() as this
leads to a recursive lock situation. This case is especially true when
porting across direct I/O to iomap infrastructure as we obtain an
inode_lock() early on in the I/O within ext4_dio_write_iter() and hold
it until the I/O has been completed. Consequently, to not run into
this specific issue, we move away from calling into
__generic_file_fsync() and perform the necessary synchronization tasks
within ext4_sync_file().
