Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] exfat: advance valid_size under the folio lock for buffered writes
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:38:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013033837.2748258-2-chizhiling@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013033837.2748258-1-chizhiling@163.com>
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>
Buffered writes currently advance valid_size in
exfat_write_iomap_end(), which runs after the folio has been unlocked.
As a result, a folio beyond valid_size can become uptodate and dirty,
and be observed by writeback or reclaim while valid_size still points
to an earlier position.
If reclaim drops such a folio before valid_size covers its range, a
subsequent read treats the range as unwritten and zero-fills it without
reading from disk. When this zero-filled page is later written back,
the zeros overwrite the data that was just written, silently losing
the write even if valid_size has since been advanced.
Advance valid_size from the buffered write path via an iomap
put_folio callback while the folio is still locked. This ensures
valid_size is updated before the folio becomes visible to writeback,
preventing the written data from being lost. Mark the inode dirty
whenever valid_size advances.
