[ Upstream commit 6e8af15ccdc4e138a5b529c1901a0013e1dcaa09 ]
With the changes to scan the page cache for dirty data to avoid data corruptions from partial write cleanup racing with other page cache operations, the drop writes error injection no longer works the same way it used to and causes xfs/196 to fail. This is because xfs/196 writes to the file and populates the page cache before it turns on the error injection and starts failing -overwrites-.
The result is that the original drop-writes code failed writes only -after- overwriting the data in the cache, followed by invalidates the cached data, then punching out the delalloc extent from under that data.
On the surface, this looks fine. The problem is that page cache invalidation *doesn't guarantee that it removes anything from the page cache* and it doesn't change the dirty state of the folio. When block size == page size and we do page aligned IO (as xfs/196 does) everything happens to align perfectly and page cache invalidation removes the single page folios that span the written data. Hence the followup delalloc punch pass does not find cached data over that range and it can punch the extent out.
IOWs, xfs/196 "works" for block size == page size with the new code. I say "works", because it actually only works for the case where IO is page aligned, and no data was read from disk before writes occur. Because the moment we actually read data first, the readahead code allocates multipage folios and suddenly the invalidate code goes back to zeroing subfolio ranges without changing dirty state.
Hence, with multipage folios in play, block size == page size is functionally identical to block size < page size behaviour, and drop-writes is manifestly broken w.r.t to this case. Invalidation of a subfolio range doesn't result in the folio being removed from the cache, just the range gets zeroed. Hence after we've sequentially walked over a folio that we've dirtied (via write data) and then invalidated, we end up with a dirty folio full of zeroed data.
And because the new code skips punching ranges that have dirty folios covering them, we end up leaving the delalloc range intact after failing all the writes. Hence failed writes now end up writing zeroes to disk in the cases where invalidation zeroes folios rather than removing them from cache.
This is a fundamental change of behaviour that is needed to avoid the data corruption vectors that exist in the old write fail path, and it renders the drop-writes injection non-functional and unworkable as it stands.
As it is, I think the error injection is also now unnecessary, as partial writes that need delalloc extent are going to be a lot more common with stale iomap detection in place. Hence this patch removes the drop-writes error injection completely. xfs/196 can remain for testing kernels that don't have this data corruption fix, but those that do will report:
xfs/196 3s ... [not run] XFS error injection drop_writes unknown on this kernel.
