ext4: punch_hole should wait for DIO writers
punch_hole is the place where we have to wait for all existing writers (writeback, aio, dio), but currently we simply flush pended end_io request which is not sufficient. Other issue is that punch_hole performed w/o i_mutex held which obviously result in dangerous data corruption due to write-after-free. This patch performs following changes: - Guard punch_hole with i_mutex - Recheck inode flags under i_mutex - Block all new dio readers in order to prevent information leak caused by read-after-free pattern. - punch_hole now wait for all writers in flight NOTE: XXX write-after-free race is still possible because new dirty pages may appear due to mmap(), and currently there is no easy way to stop writeback while punch_hole is in progress. [ Fixed error return from ext4_ext_punch_hole() to make sure that we release i_mutex before returning EPERM or ETXTBUSY -- Ted ] Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
