xfs: reorder zeroing and flushing sequence in truncate
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently zeroing out blocks and waiting for writeout is a bit of a mess in
truncate.  This patch gives it a clear order in preparation for the iomap
path:

 (1) we first wait for any direct I/O to complete to prevent any races
     for it
 (2) we then perform the actual zeroing, and only use the truncate_page
     helpers for truncating down.  The truncate up case already is
     handled by the separate call to xfs_zero_eof.
 (3) only then we write back dirty data, as zeroing block may cause
     dirty pages when using either xfs_zero_eof or the new iomap
     infrastructure.
