BUG #1) All places where we call ext4_flush_completed_IO are broken
because buffered io and DIO/AIO goes through three stages
1) submitted io,
2) completed io (in i_completed_io_list) conversion pended
3) finished io (conversion done)
And by calling ext4_flush_completed_IO we will flush only
requests which were in (2) stage, which is wrong because:
1) punch_hole and truncate _must_ wait for all outstanding unwritten io
regardless to it's state.
2) fsync and nolock_dio_read should also wait because there is
a time window between end_page_writeback() and ext4_add_complete_io()
As result integrity fsync is broken in case of buffered write
to fallocated region:
fsync blkdev_completion
->filemap_write_and_wait_range
->ext4_end_bio
->end_page_writeback
<-- filemap_write_and_wait_range return
->ext4_flush_completed_IO
sees empty i_completed_io_list but pended
conversion still exist
->ext4_add_complete_io
BUG #2) Race window becomes wider due to 'ext4: completed_io locking cleanup V4'
This patch make following changes:
1) ext4_flush_completed_io() now first try to flush completed io and when
wait for any outstanding unwritten io via ext4_unwritten_wait()
2) Rename function to more appropriate name.
3) Assert that all callers of ext4_flush_unwritten_io should hold i_mutex to
prevent endless wait
