When ext4_map_blocks() is called with EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_ZERO to zero-out
allocated blocks and these blocks are actually converted from unwritten
extent the following race can happen:
CPU0 CPU1
page fault page fault
... ...
ext4_map_blocks()
ext4_ext_map_blocks()
ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents()
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
- zero out converted extent
ext4_zeroout_es()
- inserts extent as initialized in status tree
ext4_map_blocks()
ext4_es_lookup_extent()
- finds initialized extent
write data
ext4_issue_zeroout()
- zeroes out new extent overwriting data
This problem can be reproduced by generic/340 for the fallocated case
for the last block in the file.
Fix the problem by avoiding zeroing out the area we are mapping with
ext4_map_blocks() in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(). It is pointless
to zero out this area in the first place as the caller asked us to
convert the area to initialized because he is just going to write data
there before the transaction finishes. To achieve this we delete the
special case of zeroing out full extent as that will be handled by the
cases below zeroing only the part of the extent that needs it. We also
instruct ext4_split_extent() that the middle of extent being split
contains data so that ext4_split_extent_at() cannot zero out full extent
in case of ENOSPC.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
