The problem is:
1. write cached data to a file
2. read directly from the same file (via another fd)
The 2nd operation may read stale data, i.e. the one that was in a file
before the 1st op. Problem is in how fuse manages writeback.
When direct op occurs the core kernel code calls filemap_write_and_wait
to flush all the cached ops in flight. But fuse acks the writeback right
after the ->writepages callback exits w/o waiting for the real write to
happen. Thus the subsequent direct op proceeds while the real writeback
is still in flight. This is a problem for backends that reorder operation.
Fix this by making the fuse direct IO callback explicitly wait on the
in-flight writeback to finish.

---------------------
Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio
reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my
current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread.
Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level
means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond
i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets:
a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph)
These are obviously not going to be an issue
b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse)
I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger
i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the
original behaviour just to be on the safe side.
c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO()
These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF
condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that
Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it
passes both before and after this change.
The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is
- there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation
of the contained code.
There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It
doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed
after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race
that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so
its still an overall improvement.

open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track
of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup. However,
for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup
at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of
calling into userspace for open/release calls.
This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent
open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns
ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also
remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace
operation.

If writeback happens while fuse is in FUSE_NOWRITE condition, the request
will be queued but not processed immediately (see fuse_flush_writepages()).
Until FUSE_NOWRITE becomes relaxed, more writebacks can happen. They will
be queued as "secondary" requests to that first ("primary") request.
Existing implementation crops only primary request. This is not correct
because a subsequent extending write(2) may increase i_size and then
secondary requests won't be cropped properly. The result would be stale
data written to the server to a file offset where zeros must be.
Similar problem may happen if secondary requests are attached to an
in-flight request that was already cropped.
The patch solves the issue by cropping all secondary requests in

As Maxim Patlasov pointed out, it's possible to get a dirty page while it's
copy is still under writeback, despite fuse_page_mkwrite() doing its thing
(direct IO).
This could result in two concurrent write request for the same offset, with
data corruption if they get mixed up.
To prevent this, fuse needs to check and delay such writes. This
implementation does this by:
1. check if page is still under writeout, if so create a new, single page
secondary request for it
2. chain this secondary request onto the in-flight request
2/a. if a seconday request for the same offset was already chained to the
in-flight request, then just copy the contents of the page and discard
the new secondary request. This makes sure that for each page will
have at most two requests associated with it
3. when the in-flight request finished, send off all secondary requests
chained onto it

The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2):
1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page.
3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to
writeback. fuse_writepages_fill attaches a new page to FUSE_WRITE request,
then releases the original page by end_page_writeback and unlock it.
4) fuse_do_setattr completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex
is free.
5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that
fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another
page->index.
6) fuse_writepages_fill attaches more pages to the request (if any), then
fuse_writepages_send is eventually called. It is supposed to crop
inarg->size of the request, but it doesn't because i_size has already been
extended back.
Moving end_page_writeback behind fuse_writepages_send guarantees that
__fuse_release_nowrite (called from fuse_do_setattr) will crop inarg->size
of the request before write(2) gets the chance to extend i_size.

The patch fixes a race between mmap-ed write and fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE):
1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs fallocate(2) with mode == PUNCH_HOLE|KEEP_SIZE
and <offset, size> covering the page.
3) Before truncate_pagecache_range call from fuse_file_fallocate,
the page goes to write-back. The page is fully processed by fuse_writepage
(including end_page_writeback on the page), but fuse_flush_writepages did
nothing because fi->writectr < 0.
4) truncate_pagecache_range is called and fuse_file_fallocate is finishing
by calling fuse_release_nowrite. The latter triggers processing queued
write-back request which will write stale data to the hole soon.
Changed in v2 (thanks to Brian for suggestion):
- Do not truncate page cache until FUSE_FALLOCATE succeeded. Otherwise,
we can end up in returning -ENOTSUPP while user data is already punched
from page cache. Use filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead.
Changed in v3 (thanks to Miklos for suggestion):
- fuse_wait_on_writeback() is prone to livelocks; use fuse_set_nowrite()
instead. So far as we need a dirty-page barrier only, fuse_sync_writes()
should be enough.

The way how fuse calls truncate_pagecache() from fuse_change_attributes()
is completely wrong. Because, w/o i_mutex held, we never sure whether
'oldsize' and 'attr->size' are valid by the time of execution of
truncate_pagecache(inode, oldsize, attr->size). In fact, as soon as we
released fc->lock in the middle of fuse_change_attributes(), we completely
loose control of actions which may happen with given inode until we reach
truncate_pagecache. The list of potentially dangerous actions includes
mmap-ed reads and writes, ftruncate(2) and write(2) extending file size.
The typical outcome of doing truncate_pagecache() with outdated arguments
is data corruption from user point of view. This is (in some sense)
acceptable in cases when the issue is triggered by a change of the file on
the server (i.e. externally wrt fuse operation), but it is absolutely
intolerable in scenarios when a single fuse client modifies a file without
any external intervention. A real life case I discovered by fsx-linux
looked like this:
1. Shrinking ftruncate(2) comes to fuse_do_setattr(). The latter sends
FUSE_SETATTR to the server synchronously, but before getting fc->lock ...
2. fuse_dentry_revalidate() is asynchronously called. It sends FUSE_LOOKUP
to the server synchronously, then calls fuse_change_attributes(). The
latter updates i_size, releases fc->lock, but before comparing oldsize vs
attr->size..
3. fuse_do_setattr() from the first step proceeds by acquiring fc->lock and
updating attributes and i_size, but now oldsize is equal to
outarg.attr.size because i_size has just been updated (step 2). Hence,
fuse_do_setattr() returns w/o calling truncate_pagecache().
4. As soon as ftruncate(2) completes, the user extends file size by
write(2) making a hole in the middle of file, then reads data from the hole
either by read(2) or mmap-ed read. The user expects to get zero data from
the hole, but gets stale data because truncate_pagecache() is not executed
yet.
The scenario above illustrates one side of the problem: not truncating the
page cache even though we should. Another side corresponds to truncating
page cache too late, when the state of inode changed significantly.
Theoretically, the following is possible:
1. As in the previous scenario fuse_dentry_revalidate() discovered that
i_size changed (due to our own fuse_do_setattr()) and is going to call
truncate_pagecache() for some 'new_size' it believes valid right now. But
by the time that particular truncate_pagecache() is called ...
2. fuse_do_setattr() returns (either having called truncate_pagecache() or
not -- it doesn't matter).
3. The file is extended either by write(2) or ftruncate(2) or fallocate(2).
4. mmap-ed write makes a page in the extended region dirty.
The result will be the lost of data user wrote on the fourth step.
The patch is a hotfix resolving the issue in a simplistic way: let's skip
dangerous i_size update and truncate_pagecache if an operation changing
file size is in progress. This simplistic approach looks correct for the
cases w/o external changes. And to handle them properly, more sophisticated
and intrusive techniques (e.g. NFS-like one) would be required. I'd like to
postpone it until the issue is well discussed on the mailing list(s).

Moving end_page_writeback to the end of fuse_writepage_locked fixes the

infers that fuse_writepage_locked has already called end_page_writeback.
And this, in turn, infers that fuse_flush_writepages has already called
fuse_send_writepage, and the latter used valid (shrunk) i_size. write(2)
could not extend it because of i_mutex held by ftruncate(2).
