Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] exfat: fix valid_size handling and locking
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 16:02:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927080305.831641-1-chizhiling@163.com> (raw)
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>
valid_size marks the on-disk up-to-date region of an exFAT file. It is
advanced from the write path, from read/zeroing completion, and via
truncate, while it is read without i_rwsem from ->iomap_begin and from bio
completion context. This series fixes several races and stale-data windows
that follow from that split ownership.
Patches 1-2 are self-contained fixes: an append write may be moved to EOF
by generic_write_checks(), so valid_size must be advanced using the
recalculated position; and exfat_zero_new_range() must mark non-uptodate
pages dirty so the whole page is written back.
Patches 3-4 are prerequisites for patch 5: truncate now holds the
invalidate lock so it is mutually exclusive with mmap writes, and
valid_size/zeroed_size become atomic so they can be read safely outside
i_rwsem. Patch 5 then takes exfat_page_mkwrite() out from under i_rwsem,
since blocking on the inode lock under mmap_lock could deadlock and its
VM_FAULT_RETRY result is not honored, and advances valid_size under the
folio lock to keep the page cache and valid_size consistent.

Chi Zhiling (5):
exfat: advance valid_size to EOF for append writes
exfat: dirty all new pages when extending valid_size
exfat: hold the invalidate lock while truncating
exfat: make valid_size and zeroed_size atomic
exfat: use folio lock to protect valid_size
