Subject[PATCH 4.16 089/196] ext4: protect i_disksize update by i_data_sem in direct write path
Date
4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@gmail.com>

commit 73fdad00b208b139cf43f3163fbc0f67e4c6047c upstream.

i_disksize update should be protected by i_data_sem, by either taking
the lock explicitly or by using ext4_update_i_disksize() helper. But the
i_disksize updates in ext4_direct_IO_write() are not protected at all,
which may be racing with i_disksize updates in writeback path in
delalloc buffer write path.

This is found by code inspection, and I didn't hit any i_disksize
corruption due to this bug. Thanks to Jan Kara for catching this bug and
suggesting the fix!
