From 02d262dffcf4c74e5c4612ee736bdb94f18ed5b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Monakhov Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 23:03:42 -0400 Subject: ext4: punch_hole should wait for DIO writers punch_hole is the place where we have to wait for all existing writers (writeback, aio, dio), but currently we simply flush pended end_io request which is not sufficient. Other issue is that punch_hole performed w/o i_mutex held which obviously result in dangerous data corruption due to write-after-free. This patch performs following changes: - Guard punch_hole with i_mutex - Recheck inode flags under i_mutex - Block all new dio readers in order to prevent information leak caused by read-after-free pattern. - punch_hole now wait for all writers in flight NOTE: XXX write-after-free race is still possible because new dirty pages may appear due to mmap(), and currently there is no easy way to stop writeback while punch_hole is in progress.
