There are 4 main cases: 1. Inline extents: we copy the data straight out of the extent buffer. 2. Hole/preallocated extents: we fill in zeroes. 3. Regular, uncompressed extents: we read the sectors we need directly from disk. 4. Regular, compressed extents: we read the entire compressed extent from disk and indicate what subset of the decompressed extent is in the file. This initial implementation simplifies a few things that can be improved in the future: - Cases 1, 3, and 4 allocate temporary memory to read into before copying out to userspace. - We don't do read repair, because it turns out that read repair is currently broken for compressed data. - We hold the inode lock during the operation. Note that we don't need to hold the mmap lock. We may race with btrfs_page_mkwrite() and read the old data from before the page was dirtied: btrfs_page_mkwrite btrfs_encoded_read --------------------------------------------------- (enter) (enter) btrfs_wait_ordered_range lock_extent_bits btrfs_page_set_dirty unlock_extent_cached (exit) lock_extent_bits read extent (dirty page hasn't been flushed, so this is the old data) unlock_extent_cached (exit) we read the old data from before the page was dirtied. But, that's true even if we were to hold the mmap lock: btrfs_page_mkwrite btrfs_encoded_read ------------------------------------------------------------------- (enter) (enter) btrfs_inode_lock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP) down_read(i_mmap_lock) (blocked) btrfs_wait_ordered_range lock_extent_bits read extent (page hasn't been dirtied, so this is the old data) unlock_extent_cached btrfs_inode_unlock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP) down_read(i_mmap_lock) returns lock_extent_bits btrfs_page_set_dirty unlock_extent_cached In other words, this is inherently racy, so it's fine that we return the old data in this tiny window.
