fuse: fix race in fuse_writepages()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2):

1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page.
3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to
   writeback. fuse_writepages_fill attaches a new page to FUSE_WRITE request,
   then releases the original page by end_page_writeback and unlock it.
4) fuse_do_setattr completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex
   is free.
5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that
   fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another
   page->index.
6) fuse_writepages_fill attaches more pages to the request (if any), then
   fuse_writepages_send is eventually called. It is supposed to crop
   inarg->size of the request, but it doesn't because i_size has already been
   extended back.

Moving end_page_writeback behind fuse_writepages_send guarantees that
__fuse_release_nowrite (called from fuse_do_setattr) will crop inarg->size
of the request before write(2) gets the chance to extend i_size.
