Btrfs: serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate
Currently, we can do unlocked dio reads, but the following race is possible: dio_read_task truncate_task ->btrfs_setattr() ->btrfs_direct_IO ->__blockdev_direct_IO ->btrfs_get_block ->btrfs_truncate() #alloc truncated blocks #to other inode ->submit_io() #INFORMATION LEAK In order to avoid this problem, we must serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate. There are two approaches: - use extent lock to protect the extent that we truncate - use inode_dio_wait() to make sure the truncating task will wait for the read DIO. If we use the 1st one, we will meet the endless truncation problem due to the nonlocked read DIO after we implement the nonlocked write DIO. It is because we still need invoke inode_dio_wait() avoid the race between write DIO and truncation. By that time, we have to introduce btrfs_inode_{block, resume}_nolock_dio() again. That is we have to implement this patch again, so I choose the 2nd way to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com>
