Since we can return less than count in case of partial direct
writes, remove the ASSERT.

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@suse.com>

In case direct I/O encounters an error midway, it returns the error.
Instead it should be returning the number of bytes transferred so far.

Test case for filesystems (with ENOSPC):
1. Create an almost full filesystem
2. Create a file, say /mnt/lastfile, until the filesystem is full.
3. Direct write() with count > sizeof /mnt/lastfile.

Result: write() returns -ENOSPC. However, file content has data written
in step 3.

Added a sysctl entry: dio_short_writes which is on by default. This is
to support applications which expect either and error or the bytes submitted
as a return value for the write calls.

This fixes fstest generic/472.

Changes since v1:
 - incorporated iomap and block devices

Changes since v2:
 - realized that file size was not increasing when performing a (partial)
   direct I/O because end_io function was receiving the error instead of
   size. Fixed.

Changes since v3:
 - [hch] initialize transferred with dio->size and use transferred instead
   of dio->size.

Changes since v4:
 - Refreshed to v4.14

Changes since v5:
 - Added /proc/sys/fs/dio_short_writes (default 1) to guard older applications
   which expect write(fd, buf, count) returns either count or error.

Changes since v6:
 - Corrected documentation
 - Re-ordered patch

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but there's something not quite right
with this.  Every time iomap_dio_actor create a bio, it increments
dio->size by bio->bi_iter.bi_size before calling submit_bio.  dio->size is
the 'partial' size returned to the caller if there's an error, which
means that if we write a single 2MB bio and it fails, we still get a
partial result of 2MB, not zero.

Analysis of generic/250 bears this out:

I think there's a more serious problem here too.  Let's say userspace
asks for a 4MB dio write and the dio write itself splits into four 1MB
write bios.  bio 0, 2, and 3 return quickly, but bio 1 fails slowly,
which means we successfully wrote 0-1M and 2M-3M, but since we can't
communicate a vector back to userspace the best we can do is return
1048576.

I think this is going to need better state tracking of exactly /what/
succeeded before we can return partial writes to userspace.  This could
be as simple as recording the iomap offset with each bio issued and
reducing dio->size to min(dio->size, bio->iomap->offset) if
bio->bi_status is set in iomap_dio_bio_end_io.

Yes, this is a known problem and the only solution I have been told is
to document it. But it the light of what you have expressed earlier, yes
this patch does not make sense. An error in the direct I/O means that
the data in the range may be inconsistent/garbage.

What about the rest of the data? Should the user assume that the *rest*
of the data (count - ret) is inconsistent in case of a short write?

<nod> I think I'm comfortable returning the offset of the first failing
io as a lower bound for "bytes written".  Presumably the file pointer
will be advanced by that amount and the operation retried from there, if
the program cares to do so.

Well, a narrow reading of the spec would be that we only made a
statement about the range (offset, offset + ret), so who cares what
happened past that? :P  But it does break the model that "write says it
wrote X bytes, so everything past X remains as it was before"... but
this is directio where everything is upside down. :P

Hi,

I was wondering if you could give an update regarding what's up with
this patch?

There doesn't seem to be any movement on this patch in a while, and so
I still have xfstests generic/472 suppressed in {kvm,gce}-xfstests.

Thanks,

It would be better to drop this test case and add in the documentation
that a direct I/O error could mean that the write() may or may not have
occurred and underlying data may be inconsistent. I am proposing:

diff --git a/man2/write.2 b/man2/write.2
