fix locking for the reflink operation V2

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

 



When creating a reflink we need to take the iolock much earlier, as
various early checks done in xfs_file_share_range currently are racy
without it.  Patches 1-3 sort that out in a minimal invasive way,
but I think we should just merge xfs_file_share_range and
xfs_reflink_remap_range, which is what patch 5 does.

Patches 1-3 are something I'd like to see in 4.9, patch 4 and 4might not
fully qualify, but just getting it in might make everyones life easier.

Changes since V1:
 - Added Reviewed-by: tag for patches 1-3
 - New patch to remove xfs_file_wait_for_io
 - Keep the xfs_reflink_remap_range name instead of xfs_file_share_range
 - Remove a double semicolon
