Dave Chinner 142eafd24d xfs: punching delalloc extents on write failure is racy 
[ Upstream commit 198dd8aede ]

xfs_buffered_write_iomap_end() has a comment about the safety of
punching delalloc extents based holding the IOLOCK_EXCL. This
comment is wrong, and punching delalloc extents is not race free.

When we punch out a delalloc extent after a write failure in
xfs_buffered_write_iomap_end(), we punch out the page cache with
truncate_pagecache_range() before we punch out the delalloc extents.
At this point, we only hold the IOLOCK_EXCL, so there is nothing
stopping mmap() write faults racing with this cleanup operation,
reinstantiating a folio over the range we are about to punch and
hence requiring the delalloc extent to be kept.

If this race condition is hit, we can end up with a dirty page in
the page cache that has no delalloc extent or space reservation
backing it. This leads to bad things happening at writeback time.

To avoid this race condition, we need the page cache truncation to
be atomic w.r.t. the extent manipulation. We can do this by holding
the mapping->invalidate_lock exclusively across this operation -
this will prevent new pages from being inserted into the page cache
whilst we are removing the pages and the backing extent and space
reservation.

Taking the mapping->invalidate_lock exclusively in the buffered
write IO path is safe - it naturally nests inside the IOLOCK (see
truncate and fallocate paths). iomap_zero_range() can be called from
under the mapping->invalidate_lock (from the truncate path via
either xfs_zero_eof() or xfs_truncate_page(), but iomap_zero_iter()
will not instantiate new delalloc pages (because it skips holes) and
hence will not ever need to punch out delalloc extents on failure.

Fix the locking issue, and clean up the code logic a little to avoid
unnecessary work if we didn't allocate the delalloc extent or wrote
the entire region we allocated.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
