    xfs: retry COW fork delalloc conversion when no extent was found · 7588cbee
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    While we can only truncate a block under the page lock for the current
    page, there is no high-level synchronization for moving extents from the
    COW to the data fork.  This means that for example we can have another
    thread doing a direct I/O completion that moves extents from the COW to
    the data fork race with writeback.  While this race is very hard to hit
    the always_cow seems to reproduce it reasonably well, and it also exists
    without that.  Because of that there is a chance that a delalloc
    conversion for the COW fork might not find any extents to convert.  In
    that case we should retry the whole block lookup and now find the blocks
    in the data fork.
