XFS hole punch races

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

similarly to ext4 also XFS had races between hole punching and page faults
which could result in data corruption. The fixes were merged in 4.1-rc1 but
it might make sense to backport them to older stable releases given the
nature of the issue.

Relevant fixes are:
