Subject: [PATCH 3/3] nfs: Fix cache_validity check in nfs_write_pageuptodate()
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:41:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403286083-14345-4-git-send-email-trond.myklebust@primarydata.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1403286083-14345-3-git-send-email-trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@redhat.com>

NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA cannot be ignored, even if we have a delegation.

We're still having some problems with data corruption when multiple
clients are appending to a file and those clients are being granted
write delegations on open.

To reproduce:

Client A:
vi /mnt/`hostname -s`
while :; do echo "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" >>/mnt/file; sleep $(( $RANDOM % 5 )); done

Client B:
vi /mnt/`hostname -s`
while :; do echo "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" >>/mnt/file; sleep $(( $RANDOM % 5 )); done

What's happening is that in nfs_update_inode() we're recognizing that
the file size has changed and we're setting NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA
accordingly, but then we ignore the cache_validity flags in
nfs_write_pageuptodate() because we have a delegation.  As a result,
in nfs_updatepage() we're extending the write to cover the full page
even though we've not read in the data to begin with.
