linux-toradex.git/block/fops.c, branch v5.15-rc3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules block: hold ->invalidate_lock in blkdev_fallocate 2021-09-24T17:06:58+00:00 Ming Lei ming.lei@redhat.com 2021-09-23T02:37:51+00:00 f278eb3d8178f9c31f8dfad7e91440e603dd7f1a When running ->fallocate(), blkdev_fallocate() should hold mapping->invalidate_lock to prevent page cache from being accessed, otherwise stale data may be read in page cache. Without this patch, blktests block/009 fails sometimes. With this patch, block/009 can pass always. Also as Jan pointed out, no pages can be created in the discarded area while you are holding the invalidate_lock, so remove the 2nd truncate_bdev_range().

When running ->fallocate(), blkdev_fallocate() should hold
mapping->invalidate_lock to prevent page cache from being accessed,
otherwise stale data may be read in page cache.

Without this patch, blktests block/009 fails sometimes. With this patch,
block/009 can pass always.

Also as Jan pointed out, no pages can be created in the discarded area
while you are holding the invalidate_lock, so remove the 2nd
truncate_bdev_range().
