Or in fact by not using generic_file_write_iter even for buffered I/O and at doing the pre-I/O checks and the final generic_write_sync in common code in ext2 for direct and buffered I/O. > + /* > + * For writes that could fill holes inside i_size on a > + * DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem we forbid block creations: only > + * overwrites are permitted. > + */ > + if ((flags & IOMAP_DIRECT) && (first_block << blkbits < i_size_read(inode))) > + create = 0; No need for braes around the < operation, but I think you might need them around the shift. Also an overly long line here. > + if ((flags & IOMAP_WRITE) && (offset + length > i_size_read(inode))) No need for the second set of inner braces here either.
