Subject: [46/53] xfs: avoid direct I/O write vs buffered I/O race
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:23:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111123002408.908319178@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111123002419.GA8531@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

commit c58cb165bd44de8aaee9755a144136ae743be116 upstream.

Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache
while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write.  Prevent
this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if
nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode.  To simplify this a bit
only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.
