ext4: serialize fallocate with ext4_convert_unwritten_extents
Fallocate should wait for pended ext4_convert_unwritten_extents() otherwise following race may happen: ftruncate( ,12288); fallocate( ,0, 4096) io_sibmit( ,0, 4096); /* Write to fallocated area, split extent if needed */ fallocate( ,0, 8192); /* Grow extent and broke assumption about extent */ Later kwork completion will do: ->ext4_convert_unwritten_extents (0, 4096) ->ext4_map_blocks(handle, inode, &map, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_IO_CONVERT_EXT); ->ext4_ext_map_blocks() /* Will find new extent: ex = [0,2] !!!!!! */ ->ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() ->ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() /* convert [0,2] extent to initialized, but only[0,1] was written */ Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
