Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] exfat: drain in-flight DIO before buffered writes
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 16:54:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928085412.2221055-4-yaojiale02@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928085412.2221055-1-yaojiale02@163.com>

An asynchronous direct write can remain in flight after the inode lock is
released.  If a buffered write dirties page cache while the direct write
is still pending, the direct write's post-I/O invalidation can find the
dirty pages, report a page cache invalidation failure, and record -EIO in
the mapping error sequence.  A later fsync() therefore returns -EIO.

Commit 15cdefd0c0522f9d5e12d947fa04f4c11649b699 ("ext4: drain
in-flight DIO before buffered write fallback") fixed the same race in
ext4.  ExFAT does not drain in-flight DIO before either a regular buffered
write or the buffered fallback after iomap_dio_rw() returns -ENOTBLK or a
short write.

Wait for in-flight DIO before calling iomap_file_buffered_write() in both
paths.

A reproducer using concurrent AIO direct writes and buffered fallback
triggered the following warning and made a subsequent fsync() return
-EIO:

  Page cache invalidation failure on direct I/O.  Possible data corruption
  due to collision with buffered I/O!

Fixes: 867b9c96dc83 ("exfat: add iomap direct I/O support")
