[PATCH v1] fs/fuse: Fix missing FOLL_PIN for direct-io

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

 



Our user space filesystem relies on fuse to provide POSIX interface.
In our test, a known string is written into a file and the content
is read back later to verify correct data returned. We observed wrong
data returned in read buffer in rare cases although correct data are
stored in our filesystem.

Fuse kernel module calls iov_iter_get_pages2() to get the physical
pages of the user-space read buffer passed in read(). The pages are
not pinned to avoid page migration. When page migration occurs, the
consequence are two-folds.

1) Applications do not receive correct data in read buffer.
2) fuse kernel writes data into a wrong place.

Using iov_iter_extract_pages() to pin pages fixes the issue in our
test.

An auxiliary variable "struct page **pt_pages" is used in the patch
to prepare the 2nd parameter for iov_iter_extract_pages() since
iov_iter_get_pages2() uses a different type for the 2nd parameter.
