[PATCH 3.16 015/245] ext4: move unlocked dio protection from ext4_alloc_file_blocks()
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Apr 23 2020 - 19:06:45 EST
3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx>
commit 17048e8a083fec7ad841d88ef0812707fbc7e39f upstream.
Currently ext4_alloc_file_blocks() was handling protection against
unlocked DIO. However we now need to sometimes call it under i_mmap_sem
and sometimes not and DIO protection ranks above it (although strictly
speaking this cannot currently create any deadlocks). Also
ext4_zero_range() was actually getting & releasing unlocked DIO
protection twice in some cases. Luckily it didn't introduce any real bug
but it was a land mine waiting to be stepped on. So move DIO protection
out from ext4_alloc_file_blocks() into the two callsites.
