Subject: [PATCH 25/38] xfs: convert xfs_iomap_write_unwritten to rolling transactions
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:12:28 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819001442.1451892-26-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819001442.1451892-1-dgc@kernel.org>

Convert xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() from per-iteration transaction
allocation to a single rolling transaction that keeps the ILOCK
held across the entire unwritten extent conversion loop.

Previously each iteration allocated a new transaction, acquired the
ILOCK, converted one extent, committed, and released the ILOCK.
This left a window where the extent tree could change between
iterations.

The rolling transaction keeps the ILOCK held throughout, making the
multi-extent conversion atomic with respect to other concurrent
extent operations. XFS_TRANS_RENEW_BLKRES is set so that the btree
split block reservation is automatically renewed after each
xfs_defer_finish() call.

The startblock corruption check is performed after xfs_defer_finish()
commits the dirty transaction, so that corruption detection warns and
returns an error without causing a filesystem shutdown from cancelling
a dirty transaction.
