That's "fdatasync dirty", not "fsync dirty". IOMAP_F_DIRTY needs a far better description of it's semantics than "/* block mapping is not yet on persistent storage */" so we know exactly what filesystems are supposed to be implementing here. I suspect that what it really is meant to say is: /* * IOMAP_F_DIRTY indicates the inode has uncommitted metadata to * written data and requires fdatasync to commit to persistent storage. */ [....] > diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > index f179bdf1644d..b43be199fbdf 100644 > --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_iomap.c > @@ -33,6 +33,7 @@ > #include "xfs_error.h" > #include "xfs_trans.h" > #include "xfs_trans_space.h" > +#include "xfs_inode_item.h" > #include "xfs_iomap.h" > #include "xfs_trace.h" > #include "xfs_icache.h" > @@ -1086,6 +1087,10 @@ xfs_file_iomap_begin( > trace_xfs_iomap_found(ip, offset, length, 0, &imap); > } > > + if ((flags & IOMAP_WRITE) && xfs_ipincount(ip) && > + (ip->i_itemp->ili_fsync_fields & ~XFS_ILOG_TIMESTAMP)) > + iomap->flags |= IOMAP_F_DIRTY; This is the very definition of an inode that is "fdatasync dirty". Hmmmm, shouldn't this also be set for read faults, too? Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
