Subject: [PATCH] xfs: reflink should flush after an unaligned directio cow write
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 17:17:06 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181121011706.GO6792@magnolia> (raw)

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

If userspace hands us a not-block-aligned directio write, we'll fall
back to a buffered write for the read-modify-write operation.
Unfortunately, we don't flush the page cache after a successful
fallback CoW, which means we break userspace's expectation that the data
has been sent to the drive.  Fix that by upgrading the iocb to DSYNC so
that the buffered CoW is synchronous.
