From 60da81ea61201f43387793d1cc3f501609d922ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eryu Guan Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:46:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/filemap: don't allow partially uptodate page for pipes Starting from 4.9-rc1 kernel, I started noticing some test failures of sendfile(2) and splice(2) (sendfile0N and splice01 from LTP) when testing on sub-page block size filesystems (tested both XFS and ext4), these syscalls start to return EIO in the tests. e.g. sendfile02 1 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 26, got: -1 sendfile02 2 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 24, got: -1 sendfile02 3 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 22, got: -1 sendfile02 4 TFAIL : sendfile02.c:133: sendfile(2) failed to return expected value, expected: 20, got: -1 This is because that in sub-page block size cases, we don't need the whole page to be uptodate, only the part we care about is uptodate is OK (if fs has ->is_partially_uptodate defined). But page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() doesn't have the ability to check the partially-uptodate case, it needs the whole page to be uptodate. So it returns EIO in this case. This is a regression introduced by commit 82c156f85384 ("switch generic_file_splice_read() to use of ->read_iter()"). Prior to the change, generic_file_splice_read() doesn't allow partially-uptodate page either, so it worked fine. Fix it by skipping the partially-uptodate check if we're working on a pipe in do_generic_file_read(), so we read the whole page from disk as long as the page is not uptodate. I think the other way to fix it is to add the ability to check & allow partially-uptodate page to page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm(), but that is much harder to do and seems gain little.
