4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx> commit aa6ee4ab69293969867ab09b57546d226ace3d7a upstream. The cached writeback mapping is EOF trimmed to try and avoid races between post-eof block management and writeback that result in sending cached data to a stale location. The cached mapping is currently trimmed on the validation check, which leaves a race window between the time the mapping is cached and when it is trimmed against the current inode size. For example, if a new mapping is cached by delalloc conversion on a blocksize == page size fs, we could cycle various locks, perform memory allocations, etc. in the writeback codepath before the associated mapping is eventually trimmed to i_size. This leaves enough time for a post-eof truncate and file append before the cached mapping is trimmed. The former event essentially invalidates a range of the cached mapping and the latter bumps the inode size such the trim on the next writepage event won't trim all of the invalid blocks. fstest generic/464 reproduces this scenario occasionally and causes a lost writeback and stale delalloc blocks warning on inode inactivation. To work around this problem, trim the cached writeback mapping as soon as it is cached in addition to on subsequent validation checks. This is a minor tweak to tighten the race window as much as possible until a proper invalidation mechanism is available.
