Subject: fix locking for the reflink operation
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 14:05:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476705920-32493-1-git-send-email-hch@lst.de> (raw)
When creating a reflink we need to take the iolock much earlier, as
various early checks done in xfs_file_share_range currently are racy
without it. Patches 1-3 sort that out in a minimal invasive way,
but I think we should just merge xfs_file_share_range and
xfs_reflink_remap_range, which is what patch 4 does.
Patches 1-3 are something I'd like to see in 4.9, patch 4 might not
fully qualify, but just getting it in might make everyones life easier.
