[GIT PULL v2] iomap: new code for 5.9-rc1

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

 



Hi Linus,

Please pull these new changes to the iomap code for 5.9.  The most
notable changes are:

1) iomap no longer invalidate the page cache when performing a direct
read, since doing so is unnecessary and the old directio code doesn't do
that either.

2) iomap embraced the use of returning ENOTBLK from a direct write to
trigger falling back to a buffered write since ext4 already did this and
btrfs wants it for their port.

3) iomap falls back to buffered writes if we're doing a direct write and
the page cache invalidation after the flush fails; this was necessary to
handle a corner case in the btrfs port.

4) Remove email virus scanner detritus that was accidentally included in
yesterday's pull request.  Clearly I need(ed) to update my git branch
checker scripts. :(

The branch merges cleanly with your HEAD branch as of a few minutes ago.
Please let me know if there are any strange problems.

--D

  iomap: fall back to buffered writes for invalidation failures (2020-08-05 09:24:16 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
New code for 5.9:
- Make sure we call ->iomap_end with a failure code if ->iomap_begin
  failed in any way; some filesystems need to try to undo things.
- Don't invalidate the page cache during direct reads since we already
  sync'd the cache with disk.
- Make direct writes fall back to the page cache if the pre-write
  cache invalidation fails.  This avoids a cache coherency problem.
- Fix some idiotic virus scanner warning bs in the previous tag.
