Currently iomap_dio_rw() only handles (data)sync write completions
for AIO. This means we can't optimised non-AIO IO to minimise device
flushes as we can't tell the caller whether a flush is required or
not.

To solve this problem and enable further optimisations, make
iomap_dio_rw responsible for data sync behaviour for all IO, not
just AIO.

In doing so, the sync operation is now accounted as part of the DIO
IO by inode_dio_end(), hence post-IO data stability updates will no
long race against operations that serialise via inode_dio_wait()
such as truncate or hole punch.

Looks good to me. You can add:

It looks good, but it's broken in a subtle, nasty way. :/

This generates a use after free from KASAN from generic/016. it
appears the compiler orders the code so that it dereferences
dio->iocb after iomap_dio_complete() has freed the dio structure
(yay!).

I'll post a new version of the patchset now that I've got changes to
2 of the 3 remaining patches in it....

Cheers,

Thanks for your continued effort Dave.

In the current implementation the first write to the location updates the metadata and must issue the flush.   In Windows SQL Server can avoid this behavior.   SQL Server can issue DeviceIoControl with SET_FILE_VALID_DATA and then SetEndOfFile.  The SetEndOfFile acquires space and saves metadata without requiring the actual write.   This allows us to quickly create a large file and the writes do not need the added flush.

Is this something that fallocate could accommodate to avoid having to write once (triggers flush for metadata) and then secondary writes can use FUA and avoid the flush?

Yeah, very subtle but the compiler is indeed free to do this (in C the
sequence point is only the function call but the order of evaluation of
function arguments is unspecified). Thanks for catching this.

Well, the question then is what do you see in the file if you read those
blocks before writing them or if the system crashes before writing the
data. As you describe the feature, you'd see there just the old block
contents which is a security issue (you could see for example old
/etc/passwd contents there). That's why we've refused such feature in the
past [1].
