From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@xxxxxxxxxx> When we want to convert the unitialized extent in direct write, we can either do it in ext4_end_io_nolock(AIO case) or in ext4_ext_direct_IO(non AIO case) and EXT4_I(inode)->cur_aio_dio is a guard for ext4_ext_map_blocks to find the right case. In e9e3bcecf, we mistakenly change it by: - if (io) + if (io && !(io->flag & EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN)) { io->flag = EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN; - else + atomic_inc(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_aiodio_unwritten); + } else ext4_set_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_DIO_UNWRITTEN); So now if we map 2 blocks, and the first one set the EXT_IO_END_UNWRITTEN, the 2nd mapping will set inode state because of the check for the flag. This is wrong.
