Doesn't this change the way data in unwritten extents is reported?
i.e. we current report unwritten extents as holes if there is no
data pending writeback over the range in the page cache, and as
data if there is data in the page cache.
I don't see this page cache lookup for unwritten extents implemented
in iomap_seek_hole_data() - it only reports extents mapped as holes
as holes. Hence this will now always report unwritten extents as
data . This strikes me as a regression as we currently report them
as a hole:
$ xfs_io -f -c "truncate 1m" -c "falloc 0 1m" -c "seek -a -r 0" foo
Whence Result
HOLE 0
$
I'm pretty sure that ext4 has the same behaviour when it comes to
dirty page cache pages over unwritten extents ..
Cheers,
Dave.
