Hi Jaegeuk, We run ltp testcase with f2fs and obtain a TFAIL in diotest4, the result in detail is as fallow: dio04 <<<test_start>>> tag=dio04 stime=1432278894 cmdline="diotest4" contacts="" analysis=exit <<<test_output>>> diotest4 1 TPASS : Negative Offset diotest4 2 TPASS : removed diotest4 3 TFAIL : diotest4.c:129: write allows odd count.returns 1: Success diotest4 4 TFAIL : diotest4.c:183: Odd count of read and write diotest4 5 TPASS : Read beyond the file size ...... the result of ext4 with same environment: dio04 <<<test_start>>> tag=dio04 stime=1432259643 cmdline="diotest4" contacts="" analysis=exit <<<test_output>>> diotest4 1 TPASS : Negative Offset diotest4 2 TPASS : removed diotest4 3 TPASS : Odd count of read and write diotest4 4 TPASS : Read beyond the file size ...... Does f2fs allow dwrite with non-aligned offset and size? I check the code and found dwrite with non-aligned offset and size will turn into buffered write. Whether it will have some impact on user layer applications? I wrote a patch, not well tested, how do you think of it? diff --git a/fs/f2fs/data.c b/fs/f2fs/data.c index 9bedfa8..ba5d94c 100644 --- a/fs/f2fs/data.c +++ b/fs/f2fs/data.c @@ -2010,8 +2010,9 @@ static ssize_t f2fs_direct_IO(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *iter, if (f2fs_encrypted_inode(inode) && S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) return 0; - if (check_direct_IO(inode, iter, offset)) - return 0; + err = check_direct_IO(inode, iter, offset) + if (err) + return -EINVAL; trace_f2fs_direct_IO_enter(inode, offset, count, iov_iter_rw(iter)); I wish you and other developers in this list could help me in a correct way.
