[PATCH 6.1 5/8] direct_write_fallback(): on error revert the ->ki_pos update from buffered write
Posted by Mahmoud Adam 3 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit 8287474aa5ffb41df52552c4ae4748e791d2faf2 upstream.

If we fail filemap_write_and_wait_range() on the range the buffered write went
into, we only report the "number of bytes which we direct-written", to quote
the comment in there.  Which is fine, but buffered write has already advanced
iocb->ki_pos, so we need to roll that back.  Otherwise we end up with e.g.
write(2) advancing position by more than the amount it reports having written.

Fixes: 182c25e9c157 "filemap: update ki_pos in generic_perform_write"
