In writeback cache mode mtime/ctime updates are cached, and flushed to the server using the ->write_inode() callback. Closing the file will result in a dirty inode being immediately written, but in other cases the inode can remain dirty after all references are dropped. This result in the inode being written back from reclaim, which can deadlock on a regular allocation while the request is being served. The usual mechanisms (GFP_NOFS/PF_MEMALLOC*) don't work for FUSE, because serving a request involves unrelated userspace process(es). Instead do the same as for dirty pages: make sure the inode is written before the last reference is gone. - fallocate(2)/copy_file_range(2): these call file_update_time() or file_modified(), so flush the inode before returning from the call - unlink(2), link(2) and rename(2): these call fuse_update_ctime(), so flush the ctime directly from this helper Reported-by: chenguanyou <chenguanyou@xiaomi.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
