[PATCH] ext4: issue WARN_ON_ONCE() if page gets truncated in ext4_write_[da_]begin()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In ext4_write_[da_]begin(), when we get a page successfully by calling
grab_cache_page_write_begin(), then unless this page is truncated by
ext4_truncate_failed_write(), which is called when ext4_write_[da_]begin()
run into some errors, otherwise I think this page won't be truncated by
other kernel path because we're holding i_mutex.

In this patch, if page is truncated by ext4_truncate_failed_write(), then
we just put it and call grab_cache_page_write_begin() again to get a new
page, then this check 'if (page->mapping != mapping)' won't be necessary.
We can remove this check, but according to Jan Kara's suggestion, we issue
WARN_ON_ONCE() here if page is truncated, that means something is wrong.
(Thanks to Jan Kara for his help)
