[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Ocfs2: Teach 'coherency=full' O_DIRECT writes to correctly up_read i_alloc_sem.

Fri Nov 19 00:38:39 PST 2010


Former logic of ocfs2_file_aio_write() was a bit stricky to unlock the rw_lock
and i_alloc_sem, by using some private bits in struct 'iocb' to communite with
ocfs2_dio_end_io(), it did work before we introduce the patch of supporting
'coherency=full,buffered' option, since rw_lock and i_alloc_sem were never
acquired both at the same time, no mattar we doing buffered or direct IO or not.

This patch tries to teach ocfs2_dio_end_io fully understand the bahavior of
all writes, including buffered/concurrency-allowed-odirect/none-concurrency-odirect
writes, to have all lock/sem primitives getting correctly released.
