Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 07/12] iomap: Add aio support to RWF_WRITETHROUGH
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:33:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0779ef35a8666bf096f083e0174453f0aea4685.1790596383.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790596383.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>

With aio the only thing we need to be careful off is that writethrough
can be in progress even after dropping inode and folio lock. Due to
this, we need a way to synchronise with other paths where stable write
is not enough, example:

1. Truncate to 0 in xfs sets i_size = 0 before waiting for writeback to
   complete. In case of writethrough, the end io completion can again
   push the i_size to a non-zero value.
2. Dio reads might race with aio writethrough ->end_io() and read 0s if
   unwritten conversion is yet to happen.

Hence use the dio begin/end as it gives us the required guarantees.
