Also, I found a problem with xfs/534 when it does the direct write tests to a pmem volume with DAX enabled: --- /tmp/fstests/tests/xfs/534.out 2021-03-21 11:44:09.384407426 -0700 +++ /var/tmp/fstests/xfs/534.out.bad 2021-03-23 13:32:15.898301839 -0700 @@ -5,7 +5,4 @@ Fallocate 15 blocks Buffered write to every other block of fallocated space Verify $testfile's extent count -* Direct write to unwritten extent -Fallocate 15 blocks -Direct write to every other block of fallocated space -Verify $testfile's extent count +Extent count overflow check failed: nextents = 11 looking at the xfs_bmap output for $testfile shows: /opt/testfile: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL FLAGS 0: [0..7]: 208..215 0 (208..215) 8 010000 1: [8..15]: 216..223 0 (216..223) 8 000000 2: [16..23]: 224..231 0 (224..231) 8 010000 3: [24..31]: 232..239 0 (232..239) 8 000000 4: [32..39]: 240..247 0 (240..247) 8 010000 5: [40..47]: 248..255 0 (248..255) 8 000000 6: [48..55]: 256..263 0 (256..263) 8 010000 7: [56..63]: 264..271 0 (264..271) 8 000000 8: [64..71]: 272..279 0 (272..279) 8 010000 9: [72..79]: 280..287 0 (280..287) 8 000000 10: [80..119]: 288..327 0 (288..327) 40 010000 Which is ... odd since the same direct write gets cut off after writing to block 7 (like you'd expect since it's the same function) when DAX isn't enabled... ...OH, I see the problem. For a non-DAX direct write, xfs_iomap_write_direct will allocate an unwritten block into a hole, but if the block was already mapped (written or unwritten) it won't do anything at all. For that case, XFS_IEXT_ADD_NOSPLIT_CNT is sufficient, because in the worst case we add one extent to the data fork. For DAX writes, however, the behavior is different: if (IS_DAX(VFS_I(ip))) { bmapi_flags = XFS_BMAPI_CONVERT | XFS_BMAPI_ZERO; if (imap->br_state == XFS_EXT_UNWRITTEN) { force = true; dblocks = XFS_DIOSTRAT_SPACE_RES(mp, 0) << 1; } } This tells xfs_bmapi_write that we want to /convert/ an unwritten extent to written, and we want to zero the blocks. If we're dax-writing into the middle of an unwritten range, this will cause a split. The correct parameter there would be XFS_IEXT_WRITE_UNWRITTEN_CNT. Would you mind sending a kernel patch to fix that? --D > -- > chandan
