From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 18:49:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix RWF_NOWAIT write not failling when we need to cow
If we attempt to do a RWF_NOWAIT write against a file range for which we can only do NOCOW for a part of it, due to the existence of holes or shared extents for example, we proceed with the write as if it were possible to NOCOW the whole range.
Example:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ touch /mnt/sdj/bar $ chattr +C /mnt/sdj/bar
$ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 256K 0 256K" /mnt/bar wrote 262144/262144 bytes at offset 0 256 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0003 sec (694.444 MiB/sec and 2777.7778 ops/sec)
$ xfs_io -c "fpunch 64K 64K" /mnt/bar $ sync
$ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -N -V 1 -b 128K -S 0xfe 0 128K" /mnt/bar wrote 131072/131072 bytes at offset 0 128 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0007 sec (160.051 MiB/sec and 1280.4097 ops/sec)
This last write should fail with -EAGAIN since the file range from 64K to 128K is a hole. On xfs it fails, as expected, but on ext4 it currently succeeds because apparently it is expensive to check if there are extents allocated for the whole range, but I'll check with the ext4 people.
Fix the issue by checking if check_can_nocow() returns a number of NOCOW'able bytes smaller then the requested number of bytes, and if it does return -EAGAIN.
