------------------------------------------------------ From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz Subject: ocfs2: fix data corruption on truncate

Patch series "ocfs2: Truncate data corruption fix".

As further testing has shown, commit 5314454ea3f ("ocfs2: fix data corruption after conversion from inline format") didn't fix all the data corruption issues the customer started observing after 6dbf7bb55598 ("fs: Don't invalidate page buffers in block_write_full_page()") This time I have tracked them down to two bugs in ocfs2 truncation code.

One bug (truncating page cache before clearing tail cluster and setting i_size) could cause data corruption even before 6dbf7bb55598, but before that commit it needed a race with page fault, after 6dbf7bb55598 it started to be pretty deterministic.

Another bug (zeroing pages beyond old i_size) used to be harmless inefficiency before commit 6dbf7bb55598. But after commit 6dbf7bb55598 in combination with the first bug it resulted in deterministic data corruption.

Although fixing only the first problem is needed to stop data corruption, I've fixed both issues to make the code more robust.

This patch (of 2):

ocfs2_truncate_file() did unmap invalidate page cache pages before zeroing partial tail cluster and setting i_size. Thus some pages could be left (and likely have left if the cluster zeroing happened) in the page cache beyond i_size after truncate finished letting user possibly see stale data once the file was extended again. Also the tail cluster zeroing was not guaranteed to finish before truncate finished causing possible stale data exposure. The problem started to be particularly easy to hit after commit 6dbf7bb55598 "fs: Don't invalidate page buffers in block_write_full_page()" stopped invalidation of pages beyond i_size from page writeback path.

Fix these problems by unmapping and invalidating pages in the page cache after the i_size is reduced and tail cluster is zeroed out.
