[PATCH 3.2 174/221] ocfs2: _really_ sync the right range

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 22:18:50 EST


3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 64b4e2526d1cf6e6a4db6213d6e2b6e6ab59479a upstream.

"ocfs2 syncs the wrong range" had been broken; prior to it the
code was doing the wrong thing in case of O_APPEND, all right,
but _after_ it we were syncing the wrong range in 100% cases.
*ppos, aka iocb->ki_pos is incremented prior to that point,
so we are always doing sync on the area _after_ the one we'd
written to.

Spotted by Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> back in January;
unfortunately, I'd missed his mail back then ;-/
