Hi Chao,
I read your patch series now and I like it.
Thank you for checking the patches. :)
However, how about a race condition between start_atomic_write and
abort_atomic_write?
Yup, I noticed that issue, I guess we can avoid this race condition by
covering these two flows w/ i_atomic_sem.
abort_atomic_write is called without inode_lock in closing filp scenarios.
What do you think about this?
I'm fine w/ your change as it's more clean, but it's better to drop cow_inode's
page cache if atomic_write is committed or aborted to avoid caching obsolete page?
It's better to put that part in f2fs_abort_atomic_write().
On top of that, maybe, we should move
f2fs_do_truncate_blocks(fi->cow_inode, 0, true) part from
f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write() to f2fs_abort_atomic_write(), too.
Oh, we shouldn't touch the f2fs_do_truncate_blocks() part, since there
might be some left writeback after aborting atomic write.
Plz. review it related to the timing of calling truncate_inode_pages_final().
Looks like the scenario becomes too complicated if I think about more
than one writer's scenario.
How about we check writecount in commit_atomic_write ioctl and return
EBUSY when it's not only one writer?
In that case, we can make the scenario simple and effective, and we
can release all the resources in abort_atomic_write().
Oh, I totally forgot this. We don't use pages of COW inode. So, we
Yes, after atomic_write is committed or aborted, we don't use pages of
cow_inode, so they are obsolete, IMO, we'd better to reclaim them
immediately to avoid unnecessary memory use.
The implementation may be:
- f2fs_ioc_abort_atomic_write
- f2fs_abort_atomic_write
- truncate_inode_pages_final(cow_inode)
- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
- f2fs_abort_atomic_write
- truncate_inode_pages_final(cow_inode)
Thanks,
don't need to clean them up.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Hi Daeho, Jaegeuk,
Please take a look at patchset in below link:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/20230109034453.490176-1-chao@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t
In PATCH 4/5, I'm trying to fix the same issue w/ alternative way, let me
know your preference. :)
One comment as below.

To fix a race condition between atomic write aborts, I use the inode
lock and make COW inode to be re-usable thoroughout the whole
atomic file inode lifetime.
