When doing hole punching we are flushing delalloc and waiting for ordered extents to complete before locking the inode (VFS lock and the btrfs specific i_mmap_lock). This is fine because even if a write happens after we call btrfs_wait_ordered_range() and before we lock the inode (call btrfs_inode_lock()), we will notice the write at btrfs_punch_hole_lock_range() and flush delalloc and wait for its ordered extent. We can however make this simpler by locking first the inode an then call btrfs_wait_ordered_range(), which will allow us to remove the ordered extent lookup logic from btrfs_punch_hole_lock_range() in the next patch. It also makes the behaviour the same as plain fallocate, hole punching and reflinks. 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.
