ext4: dax: fix overflowing extents beyond inode size when partially writing
[ Upstream commit dda898d7ffe85931f9cca6d702a51f33717c501e ]
The dax_iomap_rw() does two things in each iteration: map written blocks
and copy user data to blocks. If the process is killed by user(See signal
handling in dax_iomap_iter()), the copied data will be returned and added
on inode size, which means that the length of written extents may exceed
the inode size, then fsck will fail. An example is given as:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=4M count=1
dax_iomap_rw
iomap_iter // round 1
ext4_iomap_begin
ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 0~2M extents(written flag)
dax_iomap_iter // copy 2M data
iomap_iter // round 2
iomap_iter_advance
iter->pos += iter->processed // iter->pos = 2M
ext4_iomap_begin
ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 2~4M extents(written flag)
dax_iomap_iter
fatal_signal_pending
done = iter->pos - iocb->ki_pos // done = 2M
ext4_handle_inode_extension
ext4_update_inode_size // inode size = 2M
fsck reports: Inode 13, i_size is 2097152, should be 4194304. Fix?
Fix the problem by truncating extents if the written length is smaller
than expected.
