Subject: [patch 2/2] fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:55:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090311035503.GI16561@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090311035318.GH16561@wotan.suse.de>
page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held. This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from underneath
it. Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves, however
previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to raise a
SIGBUS. A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been invalidated
or truncated within i_size (eg. hole punched). Callers may also have to
perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS would be wrong.
The previous patch made it possible to properly specify errors. Convert
the generic buffer.c code and btrfs to return sane error values
(in the case of page removed from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the
fault handler to exit without doing anything, and the fault will be retried
properly).
This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example. All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.
