4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> This reverts commit c4baa4a5870cb02f713def1620052bfca7a82bbb which is commit 28f5a8a7c033cbf3e32277f4cc9c6afd74f05300 upstream. It shouldn't be applied to the 4.4-stable tree. Ben and Alex write: > Now that ocfs2_setattr() calls this outside of the inode locked region, > what prevents another task adding a new dio request immediately > afterward? > In the kernel 4.6, firstly, we use the inode_lock() in do_truncate() to prevent another bio to be issued from this node. Furthermore, we use the ocfs2_rw_lock() and ocfs2_inode_lock() in ocfs2_setattr() to guarantee no more bio will be issued from the other nodes in this cluster. > Also, ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() was introduced in 4.6 and it looks like > the dio completion path didn't previously take the inode lock. So it > doesn't look this fix is needed in 3.18 or 4.4. Yes, ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() was introduced in 4.6 and the problem this patch fixes is only exist in the kernel 4.6 and above 4.6.
