Subject: [PATCH] iomap: Fix broken data integrity guarantees for O_SYNC writes
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2025 12:28:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250730102840.20470-2-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
Commit d279c80e0bac ("iomap: inline iomap_dio_bio_opflags()") has broken
the logic in iomap_dio_bio_iter() in a way that when the device does
support FUA (or has no writeback cache) and the direct IO happens to
freshly allocated or unwritten extents, we will *not* issue fsync after
completing direct IO O_SYNC / O_DSYNC write because the
IOMAP_DIO_WRITE_THROUGH flag stays mistakenly set. Fix the problem by
clearing IOMAP_DIO_WRITE_THROUGH whenever we do not perform FUA write as
it was originally intended.

BTW, I've spotted this because some performance tests got suspiciously fast
on recent kernels :) Sadly no easy improvement to cherry-pick for me to fix
customer issue I'm chasing...
