This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xfs: don't dirty buffers beyond EOF to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.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-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.8. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From a910b10f5b8c85dd3c3507264e4034e2466cf7e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 12:12:51 +1000 Subject: xfs: don't dirty buffers beyond EOF commit 22e757a49cf010703fcb9c9b4ef793248c39b0c2 upstream. generic/263 is failing fsx at this point with a page spanning EOF that cannot be invalidated. The operations are: 1190 mapwrite 0x52c00 thru 0x5e569 (0xb96a bytes) 1191 mapread 0x5c000 thru 0x5d636 (0x1637 bytes) 1192 write 0x5b600 thru 0x771ff (0x1bc00 bytes) where 1190 extents EOF from 0x54000 to 0x5e569. When the direct IO write attempts to invalidate the cached page over this range, it fails with -EBUSY and so any attempt to do page invalidation fails. The real question is this: Why can't that page be invalidated after it has been written to disk and cleaned? Well, there's data on the first two buffers in the page (1k block size, 4k page), but the third buffer on the page (i.e. beyond EOF) is failing drop_buffers because it's bh->b_state == 0x3, which is BH_Uptodate | BH_Dirty. IOWs, there's dirty buffers beyond EOF. Say what? OK, set_buffer_dirty() is called on all buffers from __set_page_buffers_dirty(), regardless of whether the buffer is beyond EOF or not, which means that when we get to ->writepage, we have buffers marked dirty beyond EOF that we need to clean. So, we need to implement our own .set_page_dirty method that doesn't dirty buffers beyond EOF. This is messy because the buffer code is not meant to be shared and it has interesting locking issues on the buffer dirty bits. So just copy and paste it and then modify it to suit what we need. Note: the solutions the other filesystems and generic block code use of marking the buffers clean in ->writepage does not work for XFS. It still leaves dirty buffers beyond EOF and invalidations still fail. Hence rather than play whack-a-mole, this patch simply prevents those buffers from being dirtied in the first place.
