fuse: writepages: crop secondary requests
If writeback happens while fuse is in FUSE_NOWRITE condition, the request will be queued but not processed immediately (see fuse_flush_writepages()). Until FUSE_NOWRITE becomes relaxed, more writebacks can happen. They will be queued as "secondary" requests to that first ("primary") request. Existing implementation crops only primary request. This is not correct because a subsequent extending write(2) may increase i_size and then secondary requests won't be cropped properly. The result would be stale data written to the server to a file offset where zeros must be. Similar problem may happen if secondary requests are attached to an in-flight request that was already cropped. The patch solves the issue by cropping all secondary requests in fuse_writepage_end(). Thanks to Miklos for idea. Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <MPatlasov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
