This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled writeback: Fix data corruption on NFS to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 90c28061ad359f393c2c8474dbf35b296b6874a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2013 04:21:26 +0800 Subject: writeback: Fix data corruption on NFS commit f9b0e058cbd04ada76b13afffa7e1df830543c24 upstream. Commit 4f8ad655dbc8 "writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()" added a condition to skip clean inode. However this is wrong in WB_SYNC_ALL mode because there we also want to wait for outstanding writeback on possibly clean inode. This was causing occasional data corruption issues on NFS because it uses sync_inode() to make sure all outstanding writes are flushed to the server before truncating the inode and with sync_inode() returning prematurely file was sometimes extended back by an outstanding write after it was truncated. So modify the test to also check for pages under writeback in WB_SYNC_ALL mode.
