This is a patch to generic_file_buffered_write() to correctly handle partial O_DIRECT writes (because of unallocated blocks) when there is more than 1 iovec. Without this patch, the code is writing the wrong iovec (it writes the first iovec a 2nd time). Included is a test program dio_bug.c that shows the problem by: writing 4k to offset 4k writing 4k to offset 12k writing 8k to offset 4k The result is that 8k write writes the 1st 4k of the buffer twice. $ rm f; ./dio_bug f wrong value offset 8k expected 0x33 got 0x11 wrong value offset 10k expected 0x44 got 0x22 with patch $ rm f; ./dio_bug f #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; char *buf; int i; struct iovec v[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_DIRECT|O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); exit(1); } buf = valloc(8192); lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); memset(buf, 0x11, 2048); memset(buf+2048, 0x22, 2048); i = write(fd, buf, 4096); /* 4k write of 0x11 and 0x22 at 4k */ lseek(fd, 0x3000, SEEK_SET); memset(buf, 0x55, 2048); memset(buf+2048, 0x66, 2048); i = write(fd, buf, 4096); /* 4k write of 0x55 and 0x66 at 12k */ lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); i = read(fd, buf, 4096); memset(buf+4096, 0x33 , 2048); memset(buf+4096+2048, 0x44 , 2048); v[0].iov_base = buf; v[0].iov_len = 4096; v[1].iov_base = buf + 4096; v[1].iov_len = 4096; lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); i = writev(fd, v, 2); /* 8k write of 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44 at 4k */ lseek(fd, 0x2000, SEEK_SET); i = read(fd, buf, 4096); if (buf[0] != 0x33) printf("wrong value offset 8k expected 0x33 got 0x%x\n", buf[0]); if (buf[2048] != 0x44) printf("wrong value offset 10k expected 0x44 got 0x%x\n", buf[2048]); } Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
