[PATCH v6 6/7] xfs: Validate atomic writes
Posted by John Garry 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Validate that an atomic write adheres to length/offset rules. Currently
we can only write a single FS block.

For an IOCB with IOCB_ATOMIC set to get as far as xfs_file_dio_write(),
FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE will need to be set for the file; for this,
ATOMICWRITES flags would also need to be set for the inode.

Does xfs_file_write_iter need a catch-all so that we don't fall back to
buffered write for a directio write that returns ENOTBLK?

	if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT) {
		/*
		 * Allow a directio write to fall back to a buffered
		 * write *only* in the case that we're doing a reflink
		 * CoW.  In all other directio scenarios we do not
		 * allow an operation to fall back to buffered mode.
		 */
		ret = xfs_file_dio_write(iocb, from);
		if (ret != -ENOTBLK || (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_ATOMIC))
			return ret;
	}

IIRC iomap_dio_rw can return ENOTBLK if pagecache invalidation fails for
the region that we're trying to directio write.

I see where you are talking about. There is also a ENOTBLK from 
unaligned write for CoW, but we would not see that.

But I was thinking to use a common helper to catch this, like 
generic_write_checks_count() [which is called on the buffered IO path]:

----8<-----

diff --git a/fs/read_write.c b/fs/read_write.c

  	if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_APPEND)
  		iocb->ki_pos = i_size_read(inode);

---->8-----

But we keep the IOCB_DIRECT flag for the buffered IO fallback (so no good).

Another option would be:

----8<-----

+						ret = -EAGAIN;
+				}else {

  			goto out_free_dio;
  		}
---->8-----

I suggest that, as other FSes (like ext4) handle -ENOTBLK and would need 
to be changed similar to XFS. But I am not sure if changing the error 
code from -ENOTBLK for IOCB_ATOMIC is ok.

Let me know what you think about possible alternative solutions.

Thanks,
John

I don't follow the logic here -- all the error codes except for EAGAIN
are squashed into ENOTBLK, so why would we let them through for an
atomic write?

	if (ret != -EAGAIN) {
		trace_iomap_dio_invalidate_fail(inode, iomi.pos,
						iomi.len);

		if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_ATOMIC) {
			/*
			 * folio invalidation failed, maybe this is
			 * transient, unlock and see if the caller
			 * tries again
			 */
			return -EAGAIN;
		} else {
			/* fall back to buffered write */
			return -ENOTBLK;
		}
	}

Right, the errors apart from EAGAIN are normally squashed to ENOTBLK; 
but I thought that since we would not do this for IOCB_ATOMIC, then just 
return the actual error from kiocb_invalidate_pages() - apart from 
ENOTBLK, which has this special treatment.

But I can always just return EAGAIN for IOCB_ATOMIC when 
kiocb_invalidate_pages() errors, as you suggest below.
