From 1c8349a17137b93f0a83f276c764a6df1b9a116e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namjae Jeon Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 08:12:25 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages. Later we check for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit. This process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration. journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed. This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in collapse_range. (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests) To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.
