From: Yunchuan Wen <yunchuanwen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The following scripts could easily panic the kernel, #!/bin/bash mount -t ceph -o fsc MONADDR:/ cephfs rm -rf cephfs/foo dd if=/dev/zero of=cephfs/foo bs=8 count=512 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches dd if=cephfs/foo of=/dev/null bs=8 count=1024 This is due to when writing a page into fscache, the code will assert that the write position does not exceed the object->store_limit_l, which is supposed to be equal to inode->i_size. However, for current implementation, after file writing, the object->store_limit_l is not synchronized with new inode->i_size immediately, which introduces a race that if writing a new page into fscache, will reach the ASSERT that write position has exceeded the object->store_limit_l, and cause kernel panic. This patch fixes it.
