xfs: don't allow NOWAIT DIO across extent boundaries
Jens has reported a situation where partial direct IOs can be issued and completed yet still return -EAGAIN. We don't want this to report a short IO as we want XFS to complete user DIO entirely or not at all. This partial IO situation can occur on a write IO that is split across an allocated extent and a hole, and the second mapping is returning EAGAIN because allocation would be required. The trivial reproducer: $ sudo xfs_io -fdt -c "pwrite 0 4k" -c "pwrite -V 1 -b 8k -N 0 8k" /mnt/scr/foo wrote 4096/4096 bytes at offset 0 4 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0001 sec (27.509 MiB/sec and 7042.2535 ops/sec) pwrite: Resource temporarily unavailable $ The pwritev2(0, 8kB, RWF_NOWAIT) call returns EAGAIN having done the first 4kB write: xfs_file_direct_write: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 size 0x1000 offset 0x0 count 0x2000 iomap_apply: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 pos 0 length 8192 flags WRITE|DIRECT|NOWAIT (0x31) ops xfs_direct_write_iomap_ops caller iomap_dio_rw actor iomap_dio_actor xfs_ilock_nowait: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_ilock_for_iomap xfs_iunlock: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_direct_write_iomap_begin xfs_iomap_found: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 size 0x1000 offset 0x0 count 8192 fork data startoff 0x0 startblock 24 blockcount 0x1 iomap_apply_dstmap: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 bdev 259:1 addr 102400 offset 0 length 4096 type MAPPED flags DIRTY Here the first iomap loop has mapped the first 4kB of the file and issued the IO, and we enter the second iomap_apply loop: iomap_apply: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 pos 4096 length 4096 flags WRITE|DIRECT|NOWAIT (0x31) ops xfs_direct_write_iomap_ops caller iomap_dio_rw actor iomap_dio_actor xfs_ilock_nowait: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_ilock_for_iomap xfs_iunlock: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_direct_write_iomap_begin And we exit with -EAGAIN out because we hit the allocate case trying to make the second 4kB block. Then IO completes on the first 4kB and the original IO context completes and unlocks the inode, returning -EAGAIN to userspace: xfs_end_io_direct_write: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 isize 0x1000 disize 0x1000 offset 0x0 count 4096 xfs_iunlock: dev 259:1 ino 0x83 flags IOLOCK_SHARED caller xfs_file_dio_aio_write There are other vectors to the same problem when we re-enter the mapping code if we have to make multiple mappinfs under NOWAIT conditions. e.g. failing trylocks, COW extents being found, allocation being required, and so on. Avoid all these potential problems by only allowing IOMAP_NOWAIT IO to go ahead if the mapping we retrieve for the IO spans an entire allocated extent. This avoids the possibility of subsequent mappings to complete the IO from triggering NOWAIT semantics by any means as NOWAIT IO will now only enter the mapping code once per NOWAIT IO.
