This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iomap: Mark read blocks uptodate in write_begin to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iomap-mark-read-blocks-uptodate-in-write_begin.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 072240c3f55268439b4493d4949839fde6599bdd Author: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 10 08:26:18 2020 -0700 iomap: Mark read blocks uptodate in write_begin [ Upstream commit 14284fedf59f1647264f4603d64418cf1fcd3eb0 ] When bringing (portions of) a page uptodate, we were marking blocks that were zeroed as being uptodate, but not blocks that were read from storage. Like the previous commit, this problem was found with generic/127 and a kernel which failed readahead I/Os. This bug causes writes to be silently lost when working with flaky storage.
