Follow the lead of xfs_break_dax_layouts() and add synchronization between
operations in ext4 which remove blocks from an inode (hole punch, truncate
down, etc.) and pages which are pinned due to DAX DMA operations.

Hi,
don't we need to do the same for ext4_insert_range() since we're about
to truncate_pagecache() as well ?
/thinking out loud/
Xfs seems to do this before every fallocate operation, but in ext4
it does not seem to be needed at least for simply allocating falocate...
Thanks!

I saw the case in ext4_insert_range(), and decided that we didn't need to
worry about synchronizing with DAX because no blocks were being removed from
the inode's extent map. IIUC the truncate_pagecache() call is needed because
we are unmapping and removing any page cache mappings for the part of the file
after the insert because those blocks are now at a different offset in the
inode. Because at the end of the operation we haven't removed any DAX pages
from the inode, we have nothing that we need to synchronize.
Hmm, unless this is a failure case we care about fixing?
1) schedule I/O via O_DIRECT to page X
2) fallocate(FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE) to block < X, shifting X to a larger
offset
3) O_DIRECT I/O from 1) completes, but ends up writing into the *new* block
that resides at X - the I/O from 1) completes
In this case the user is running I/O and issuing the fallocate at the same
time, and the sequencing could have worked out that #1 and #2 were reversed,
giving you the same behavior. IMO this seems fine and that we shouldn't have
the DAX synchronization call in ext4_insert_range(), but I'm happy to add it
if I'm wrong.

The PNFS client may have mapped a hole over the range we are about
to allocate. Hence it's mapping will be stale, and it needs to remap
the range.
i.e. any change to the extent list needs to break the lease of any
client that may have a cached layout on that inode. i.e. it's not
just extent removal that we are protecting against - we are trying
to ensure clients using leases to access blocks directly remain
coherent with the filesystem's extent map. Hence any potential
change to the extent map requires breaking the lease....
Cheers,
Dave.

I also don't see a way how ext4_insert_range() not calling
ext4_break_layouts() could lead to corruption. However the whole operation
with splitting (and possible zeroing out) of extents, truncation of extents
beyond EOF, etc. is complex enough that I'm not sure I've thought through
all the corner cases :-) So it at least deserves a comment why
ext4_break_layouts() is not necessary here (also as a reminder in case we
change the implementation and it would be suddently needed).

Hi,
I think you're right, this case might mot matter much. I am just worried
about unforeseen consequences of changing the layout with dax pages
mapped. I guess we can also add this later fi we discover anything.

Thank you for the review. I'll add a comment to help explain my reasoning, as
Jan suggested.
