Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] ext4: Do not fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic write
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 21:27:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3c6f41ebed5ca2a669fb05ccc38e8530d0e3e220.1730286164.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1730286164.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
atomic writes is currently only supported for single fsblock and only
for direct-io. We should not return -ENOTBLK for atomic writes since we
want the atomic write request to either complete fully or fail
otherwise. We should not fallback to buffered-io in case of DIO atomic
write requests.
Let's also catch if this ever happens by adding some WARN_ON_ONCE before
buffered-io handling for direct-io atomic writes.
More details of the discussion [1].
