From 4127a5d9fb89fd74d2816456e309eb82a3d375a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Foster Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:22:57 -0800 Subject: xfs: fix eofblocks race with file extending async dio writes commit e4229d6b0bc9280f29624faf170cf76a9f1ca60e upstream. It's possible for post-eof blocks to end up being used for direct I/O writes. dio write performs an upfront unwritten extent allocation, sends the dio and then updates the inode size (if necessary) on write completion. If a file release occurs while a file extending dio write is in flight, it is possible to mistake the post-eof blocks for speculative preallocation and incorrectly truncate them from the inode. This means that the resulting dio write completion can discover a hole and allocate new blocks rather than perform unwritten extent conversion. This requires a strange mix of I/O and is thus not likely to reproduce in real world workloads. It is intermittently reproduced by generic/299. The error manifests as an assert failure due to transaction overrun because the aforementioned write completion transaction has only reserved enough blocks for btree operations: XFS: Assertion failed: tp->t_blk_res_used <= tp->t_blk_res, \ file: fs/xfs//xfs_trans.c, line: 309 The root cause is that xfs_free_eofblocks() uses i_size to truncate post-eof blocks from the inode, but async, file extending direct writes do not update i_size until write completion, long after inode locks are dropped. Therefore, xfs_free_eofblocks() effectively truncates the inode to the incorrect size. Update xfs_free_eofblocks() to serialize against dio similar to how extending writes are serialized against i_size updates before post-eof block zeroing. Specifically, wait on dio while under the iolock. This ensures that dio write completions have updated i_size before post-eof blocks are processed.
