[PATCH 1/6] ext4: Fix races between page faults and hole punching

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

 



Currently, page faults and hole punching are completely unsynchronized.
This can result in page fault faulting in a page into a range that we
are punching after truncate_pagecache_range() has been called and thus
we can end up with a page mapped to disk blocks that will be shortly
freed. Filesystem corruption will shortly follow. Note that the same
race is avoided for truncate by checking page fault offset against
i_size but there isn't similar mechanism available for punching holes.

Fix the problem by creating new rw semaphore i_mmap_sem in inode and
grab it for writing over truncate and hole punching and for read over
page faults. We cannot easily use i_data_sem for this since that ranks
below transaction start and we need something ranking above it so that
it can be held over the whole truncate / hole punching operation.
