When replacing file extents, called during fallocate, hole punching, clone and deduplication, we may not be able to replace/drop all the target file extent items with a single transaction handle. We may get -ENOSPC while doing it, in which case we release the transaction handle, balance the dirty pages of the btree inode, flush delayed items and get a new transaction handle to operate on what's left of the target range. By dropping and replacing file extent items we have effectively modified the inode, so we should bump its iversion and update its mtime/ctime before we update the inode item. This is because if the transaction we used for partially modifying the inode gets committed by someone after we release it and before we finish the rest of the range, a power failure happens, then after mounting the filesystem our inode has an outdated iversion and mtime/ctime, corresponding to the values it had before we changed it. So add the missing iversion and mtime/ctime updates. Reviewed-by: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io> Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
