xfs: flush the range before zero range conversion
XFS currently discards delalloc blocks within the target range of a
zero range request. Unaligned start and end offsets are zeroed
through the page cache and the internal, aligned blocks are
converted to unwritten extents.
If EOF is page aligned and covered by a delayed allocation extent.
The inode size is not updated until I/O completion. If a zero range
request discards a delalloc range that covers page aligned EOF as
such, the inode size update never occurs. For example:
$ rm -f /mnt/file
$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 64k" -c "zero 60k 4k" /mnt/file
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
65536
$ umount /mnt
$ mount <dev> /mnt
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
61440
Update xfs_zero_file_space() to flush the range rather than discard
delalloc blocks to ensure that inode size updates occur
appropriately.
[dchinner: Note that this is really a workaround to avoid the
underlying problems. More work is needed (and ongoing) to fix those
issues so this fix is being added as a temporary stop-gap measure. ]
