mainlining shenanigans
70c57dcd60
Every so often we blow the ASSERT(type != XFS_IO_COW) in xfs_map_blocks when running fsstress, as we do in generic/269. The cause of this is writeback racing with truncate -- writeback doesn't take the iolock, so truncate can sneak in to decrease i_size and truncate page cache while writeback is gathering buffer heads to schedule writeout. If we hit this race on a block that has a CoW mapping, we'll get a valid imap from the CoW fork but the reduced i_size trims the mapping to zero length (which makes it invalid), so we call xfs_map_blocks to try again. This doesn't do much anyway, since any mapping we get out of that will also be invalid, so we might as well skip the assert and just stop. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
