https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207729 --- Comment #4 from Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) --- Thanks for the reproducer! Good spotting! This is indeed broken. The problem is that the write to the second file block happens, data is written to page cache. Then fsync(2) happens. It starts writeback of the second file block - allocates block, extends file size, submits write of the second file block, and waits for this write to complete. Because the write fails with EIO, waiting for the write to complete returns EIO which then bubbles up to userspace. But this also "consumes" the IO error and so the journalling layer which commits transaction later does not know there was IO error before and so it happily commits the transaction. As I've verified, this scenario indeed leads to stale data exposure that data_err=abort mount option is meant to prevent. I have to think how to fix this properly... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
