3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Boaz Harrosh <bharr...@panasas.com> commit c999ff68029ebd0f56ccae75444f640f6d5a27d2 upstream. It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros. Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for. Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond i_size. TODO: Change the API to ->__r4w_get_page() so a NULL can be returned without being considered as error, since XOR API treats NULL entries as zero_pages. [Bug since 3.2. Should apply the same way to all Kernels since] Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharr...@panasas.com> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust for lack of wdata->header] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk> --- --- a/fs/nfs/objlayout/objio_osd.c +++ b/fs/nfs/objlayout/objio_osd.c @@ -467,8 +467,16 @@ static struct page *__r4w_get_page(void struct objio_state *objios = priv; struct nfs_write_data *wdata = objios->oir.rpcdata; pgoff_t index = offset / PAGE_SIZE; - struct page *page = find_get_page(wdata->inode->i_mapping, index); + struct page *page; + loff_t i_size = i_size_read(wdata->inode); + if (offset >= i_size) { + *uptodate = true; + dprintk("%s: g_zero_page index=0x%lx\n", __func__, index); + return ZERO_PAGE(0); + } + + page = find_get_page(wdata->inode->i_mapping, index); if (!page) { page = find_or_create_page(wdata->inode->i_mapping, index, GFP_NOFS); @@ -489,8 +497,10 @@ static struct page *__r4w_get_page(void static void __r4w_put_page(void *priv, struct page *page) { - dprintk("%s: index=0x%lx\n", __func__, page->index); - page_cache_release(page); + dprintk("%s: index=0x%lx\n", __func__, + (page == ZERO_PAGE(0)) ? -1UL : page->index); + if (ZERO_PAGE(0) != page) + page_cache_release(page); return; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
