      iomap: iomap that extends beyond EOF should be marked dirty · 7684e2c4
      Dave Chinner authored
      When doing a direct IO that spans the current EOF, and there are
      written blocks beyond EOF that extend beyond the current write, the
      only metadata update that needs to be done is a file size extension.
      
      However, we don't mark such iomaps as IOMAP_F_DIRTY to indicate that
      there is IO completion metadata updates required, and hence we may
      fail to correctly sync file size extensions made in IO completion
      when O_DSYNC writes are being used and the hardware supports FUA.
      
      Hence when setting IOMAP_F_DIRTY, we need to also take into account
      whether the iomap spans the current EOF. If it does, then we need to
      mark it dirty so that IO completion will call generic_write_sync()
      to flush the inode size update to stable storage correctly.
      
      Fixes: 3460cac1

      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "A few tracing fixes:
      
         - Remove lockdown from tracefs itself and moved it to the trace
           directory. Have the open functions there do the lockdown checks.
      
         - Fix a few races with opening an instance file and the instance
           being deleted (Discovered during the lockdown updates). Kept
           separate from the clean up code such that they can be backported to
           stable easier.
      
         - Clean up and consolidated the checks done when opening a trace
           file, as there were multiple checks that need to be done, and it
           did not make sense having them done in each open instance.
      
         - Fix a regression in the record mcount code.
      
         - Small hw_lat detector tracer fixes.
      
         - A trace_pipe read fix due to not initializing trace_seq"
