If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Liz Fong-Jones [ Upstream commit 90c96612460e6accddbda5a195e6ddaa391ecde0 ] On a filesystem mounted with lazytime, sync() and syncfs() can return without persisting timestamp updates of inodes attached to a dying cgroup wb, so a crash after the sync loses them. File data and sizes are not affected. Since commit f6988c90671e ("writeback: bound cleanup_offline_cgwb() rescans by rotating scanned inodes"), isw_prepare_wbs_switch() moves the inodes it walks to the newest end of the list. When a pass fills its isw before reaching an inode that got its lazytime update after a sync's cutoff, the walked inodes land past it on b_dirty_time, and the sync's queue_io(), which stops at the first inode dirtied after the cutoff, misses them. The late inode has to be one without a pending lazytime update; one already on b_dirty_time keeps its position. The window is narrow. cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() skips wbs with anything on b_dirty, b_io or b_more_io, so the scan has to land between wb_writeback() fixing dirtied_before and taking list_lock for its first queue_io(), unless a multi-pass drain started before the wb got dirty IO. Take wb_switch_rwsem for read across the scan, as process_inode_switch_wbs() does for the switches.
