Subject: [PATCH] fuse: hold i_mutex in fuse_file_fallocate()

Changing size of a file on server and local update (fuse_write_update_size)
should be always protected by inode->i_mutex. Otherwise a race like this is
possible:

1. Process 'A' calls fallocate(2) to extend file (~FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE).
fuse_file_fallocate() sends FUSE_FALLOCATE request to the server.
2. Process 'B' performs ordinary buffered write(2) with a length big enough
to extend the file beyond "offset + length" of fallocate call.
3. Process 'A' resumes execution of fuse_file_fallocate() and calls
fuse_write_update_size(inode, offset + length). But 'offset + length' was
obsoleted by write from previous step.

Hi Maxim,

Doesn't fuse_write_update_size() already handle this particular case by
only ever extending the size?

As you say, fuse_write_update_size() does seem to protect against the
case Maxim writes in the commit log.

However, there is still an issue with with truncate(shrinking_offset)
and fallocate(growing_offset,~FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE) racing, and changing
inode size in opposing order between file server and in core ->i_size.
Therefore, grabbing i_mutex is making fallocate and truncate atomic
against each other.

I guess we just need an updated commit log, and same code change?

Just for clarity, can you make the condition to check
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and call to fuse_set_nowrite() nested within the
larger if (lock_inode) { .. } block? fuse_set_nowrite() should not be
called without i_mutex acquired. The current style of calling
mutex_lock() and fuse_set_nowrite() in separate conditions can
potentially cause bugs in the future if they were to get re-ordered due
to some unrelated patch. Nesting them makes the relation more explicit
and clear.

Thanks,
Avati

Thanks a lot for review. I'll post updated patch soon.

Thanks,
