It initiates writeback on certain ranges of the file before others, and so therefore can expose issues related to ordering of writeback. It's made worse by the fact that, by definition, both sync_file_range() and posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) provide no data integrity guarantees. And, further, neither are vectored through the filesystem like fsync is and so the filesystem can't provide any integrity guarantees, either. Hence if you use range based posix_fadvise(DONTNEED) and/or sync_file_range(), you can get real strange things happening as data writeback ordering is fully under the control of the user, not the filesystem, and the user, in general, has no clue about what the filesystem is doing under the covers. > (Coincidentally, all of this code was just recently rewritten to do a > simple fsync. I haven't retested the powercycling since then, though.) fsync should work just fine, as it does increasing offset writeback and that means the zeroed blocks will get written before the data blocks and so uninitialised data won't get exposed....
