[ Upstream commit 118e021b4b66f758f8e8f21dc0e5e0a4c721e69e ]
When we reserve a delalloc region in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin, we mark the iomap as IOMAP_F_NEW so that the the write context understands that it allocated the delalloc region.
If we then fail that buffered write, xfs_buffered_write_iomap_end() checks for the IOMAP_F_NEW flag and if it is set, it punches out the unused delalloc region that was allocated for the write.
The assumption this code makes is that all buffered write operations that can allocate space are run under an exclusive lock (i_rwsem). This is an invalid assumption: page faults in mmap()d regions call through this same function pair to map the file range being faulted and this runs only holding the inode->i_mapping->invalidate_lock in shared mode.
IOWs, we can have races between page faults and write() calls that fail the nested page cache write operation that result in data loss. That is, the failing iomap_end call will punch out the data that the other racing iomap iteration brought into the page cache. This can be reproduced with generic/34[46] if we arbitrarily fail page cache copy-in operations from write() syscalls.
Code analysis tells us that the iomap_page_mkwrite() function holds the already instantiated and uptodate folio locked across the iomap mapping iterations. Hence the folio cannot be removed from memory whilst we are mapping the range it covers, and as such we do not care if the mapping changes state underneath the iomap iteration loop:
1. if the folio is not already dirty, there is no writeback races possible. 2. if we allocated the mapping (delalloc or unwritten), the folio cannot already be dirty. See #1. 3. If the folio is already dirty, it must be up to date. As we hold it locked, it cannot be reclaimed from memory. Hence we always have valid data in the page cache while iterating the mapping. 4. Valid data in the page cache can exist when the underlying mapping is DELALLOC, UNWRITTEN or WRITTEN. Having the mapping change from DELALLOC->UNWRITTEN or UNWRITTEN->WRITTEN does not change the data in the page - it only affects actions if we are initialising a new page. Hence #3 applies and we don't care about these extent map transitions racing with iomap_page_mkwrite(). 5. iomap_page_mkwrite() checks for page invalidation races (truncate, hole punch, etc) after it locks the folio. We also hold the mapping->invalidation_lock here, and hence the mapping cannot change due to extent removal operations while we are iterating the folio.
As such, filesystems that don't use bufferheads will never fail the iomap_folio_mkwrite_iter() operation on the current mapping, regardless of whether the iomap should be considered stale.
Further, the range we are asked to iterate is limited to the range inside EOF that the folio spans. Hence, for XFS, we will only map the exact range we are asked for, and we will only do speculative preallocation with delalloc if we are mapping a hole at the EOF page. The iterator will consume the entire range of the folio that is within EOF, and anything beyond the EOF block cannot be accessed. We never need to truncate this post-EOF speculative prealloc away in the context of the iomap_page_mkwrite() iterator because if it remains unused we'll remove it when the last reference to the inode goes away.
Hence we don't actually need an .iomap_end() cleanup/error handling path at all for iomap_page_mkwrite() for XFS. This means we can separate the page fault processing from the complexity of the .iomap_end() processing in the buffered write path. This also means that the buffered write path will also be able to take the mapping->invalidate_lock as necessary.
