From aef39ab1534d1a07061e0ee7e428499e127232eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 00:38:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dax: call get_blocks() with create == 1 for write faults to unwritten extents Currently, __dax_fault() does not call get_blocks() callback with create argument set, when we got back unwritten extent from the initial get_blocks() call during a write fault. This is because originally filesystems were supposed to convert unwritten extents to written ones using complete_unwritten() callback. Later this was abandoned in favor of using pre-zeroed blocks however the condition whether get_blocks() needs to be called with create == 1 remained. Fix the condition so that filesystems are not forced to zero-out and convert unwritten extents when get_blocks() is called with create == 0 (which introduces unnecessary overhead for read faults and can be problematic as the filesystem may possibly be read-only).
