Subject: [PATCH v8 03/15] xfs: don't change the block map under a dirty folio
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 20:02:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112010229.51029-4-mason@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112010229.51029-1-mason@kernel.org>
With CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, writeback on XFS can write in place
to a shared block and corrupt the other file that shares it.
xfs_map_blocks() writes in place unless the COW fork has an extent for
the block. write() and write faults reserve one before they dirty a
folio over a shared block, so xfs_flush_unmap_range() writes back and
truncates the range before a clone changes the block map. But the holder
of a GUP write pin takes no filesystem lock, and the truncate keeps a
large dirty folio that straddles the range:
clone pin holder writeback
===== ========== =========
writes the range back
dirties the folio
truncate keeps the folio
maps a shared block under it
dirties it again
finds no COW extent
writes in place
/* shared block */
The fix used here is to invalidate the range instead of truncating it,
and to fail the call with -EINVAL if a dirty folio is left, before the
block map changes.
