[PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: Close race between direct IO and ext4_break_layouts()

[PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: Close race between direct IO and ext4_break_layouts()

[Dave Jiang]

From: Ross Zwisler <zwisler-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>

If the refcount of a page is lowered between the time that it is returned
by dax_busy_page() and when the refcount is again checked in
ext4_break_layouts() => ___wait_var_event(), the waiting function
ext4_wait_dax_page() will never be called.  This means that
ext4_break_layouts() will still have 'retry' set to false, so we'll stop
looping and never check the refcount of other pages in this inode.

Instead, always continue looping as long as dax_layout_busy_page() gives us
a page which it found with an elevated refcount.

[PATCH v2 2/2] [PATCH] xfs: Close race between direct IO and xfs_break_layouts()

[Dave Jiang]

This patch is the duplicate of ross's fix for ext4 for xfs.

If the refcount of a page is lowered between the time that it is returned
by dax_busy_page() and when the refcount is again checked in
xfs_break_layouts() => ___wait_var_event(), the waiting function
xfs_wait_dax_page() will never be called.  This means that
xfs_break_layouts() will still have 'retry' set to false, so we'll stop
looping and never check the refcount of other pages in this inode.

Instead, always continue looping as long as dax_layout_busy_page() gives us
a page which it found with an elevated refcount.

I think I gave you my reviewed-by tag already for the previous version. But

Yes you did. I forgot to append it when I sent it out the first time. I
