Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 04/14] iomap: don't punch delalloc under a dirty EOF block
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 21:54:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-211877@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112214604.67875-5-mason@kernel.org>
> After a failed buffered write, writeback on XFS can write in place to
> the shared block that contains EOF, and corrupt the other file that
> shares it.
>
> After a failed buffered write, iomap_write_delalloc_release() punches
> the delalloc reservation of the write, except under dirty folios, which
> still need it. It looks for dirty folios only up to i_size, and punches
> the rest unconditionally. But XFS rounds that punch down to a block
> boundary, so the block that contains EOF loses its COW fork reservation,
> and writeback goes to the shared block:
>
> block size 4096, i_size 5000, reservation 4096 to 8192
> searched for dirty folios: 4096 to 5000
> punched unconditionally: 5000 to 8192
> rounded to blocks by XFS: 4096 to 8192
>
> The fix used here is to look for dirty folios up to the end of the block
> that contains EOF.

> Fixes: f43dc4dc3eff ("iomap: buffered write failure should not truncate the page cache")
> Fixes: f6f91d290c8b ("xfs: punch delalloc extents from the COW fork for COW writes")
> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <mason@kernel.org>
