Subject: [PATCH 05/52] exofs: simple_write_end does not mark_inode_dirty
From: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@...asas.com>
commit efd124b999fb4d426b30675f1684521af0872789 upstream.
exofs uses simple_write_end() for it's .write_end handler. But
it is not enough because simple_write_end() does not call
mark_inode_dirty() when it extends i_size. So even if we do
call mark_inode_dirty at beginning of write out, with a very
long IO and a saturated system we might get the .write_inode()
called while still extend-writing to file and miss out on the last
i_size updates.
So override .write_end, call simple_write_end(), and afterwords if
i_size was changed call mark_inode_dirty().
It stands to logic that since simple_write_end() was the one extending
i_size it should also call mark_inode_dirty(). But it looks like all
users of simple_write_end() are memory-bound pseudo filesystems, who
could careless about mark_inode_dirty(). I might submit a
warning-comment patch to simple_write_end() in future.
