afs: Fix EOF corruption
When doing a partial writeback, afs_write_back_from_locked_page() may generate an FS.StoreData RPC request that writes out part of a file when a file has been constructed from pieces by doing seek, write, seek, write, ... as is done by ld. The FS.StoreData RPC is given the current i_size as the file length, but the server basically ignores it unless the data length is 0 (in which case it's just a truncate operation). The revised file length returned in the result of the RPC may then not reflect what we suggested - and this leads to i_size getting moved backwards - which causes issues later. Fix the client to take account of this by ignoring the returned file size unless the data version number jumped unexpectedly - in which case we're going to have to clear the pagecache and reload anyway. This can be observed when doing a kernel build on an AFS mount. The following pair of commands produce the issue: ld -m elf_x86_64 -z max-page-size=0x200000 --emit-relocs \ -T arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.lds \ arch/x86/realmode/rm/header.o \ arch/x86/realmode/rm/trampoline_64.o \ arch/x86/realmode/rm/stack.o \ arch/x86/realmode/rm/reboot.o \ -o arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.elf arch/x86/tools/relocs --realmode \ arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.elf \ >arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.relocs This results in the latter giving: Cannot read ELF section headers 0/18: Success as the realmode.elf file got corrupted. The sequence of events can also be driven with: xfs_io -t -f \ -c "pwrite -S 0x58 0 0x58" \ -c "pwrite -S 0x59 10000 1000" \ -c "close" \ /afs/example.com/scratch/a Fixes: 31143d5d515e ("AFS: implement basic file write support") Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
