From d311d79de305f1ada47cadd672e6ed1b28a949eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 15:18:09 -0500 Subject: fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write() It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support) when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly synced pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1 but generic_file_aio_write() synced pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1 instead. Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously. A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write(). All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write(). The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync() ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of calls.
