    xfs: don't BUG() on mixed direct and mapped I/O · 04197b34
    Brian Foster 提交于
    We've had reports of generic/095 causing XFS to BUG() in
    __xfs_get_blocks() due to the existence of delalloc blocks on a
    direct I/O read. generic/095 issues a mix of various types of I/O,
    including direct and memory mapped I/O to a single file. This is
    clearly not supported behavior and is known to lead to such
    problems. E.g., the lack of exclusion between the direct I/O and
    write fault paths means that a write fault can allocate delalloc
    blocks in a region of a file that was previously a hole after the
    direct read has attempted to flush/inval the file range, but before
    it actually reads the block mapping. In turn, the direct read
    discovers a delalloc extent and cannot proceed.
    
    While the appropriate solution here is to not mix direct and memory
    mapped I/O to the same regions of the same file, the current
    BUG_ON() behavior is probably overkill as it can crash the entire
    system.  Instead, localize the failure to the I/O in question by
    returning an error for a direct I/O that cannot be handled safely
    due to delalloc blocks. Be careful to allow the case of a direct
    write to post-eof delalloc blocks. This can occur due to speculative
    preallocation and is safe as post-eof blocks are not accompanied by
    dirty pages in pagecache (conversely, preallocation within eof must
    have been zeroed, and thus dirtied, before the inode size could have
    been increased beyond said blocks).
    
    Finally, provide an additional warning if a direct I/O write occurs
    while the file is memory mapped. This may not catch all problematic
    scenarios, but provides a hint that some known-to-be-problematic I/O
    methods are in use.
