Subject: XFS hole punch races
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 16:57:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160322155740.GB28772@quack.suse.cz> (raw)
Hi,
similarly to ext4 also XFS had races between hole punching and page faults
which could result in data corruption. The fixes were merged in 4.1-rc1 but
it might make sense to backport them to older stable releases given the
nature of the issue.
Relevant fixes are:
