iomap: write iomap validity checks
A recent multithreaded write data corruption has been uncovered in the iomap write code. The core of the problem is partial folio writes can be flushed to disk while a new racing write can map it and fill the rest of the page: writeback new write allocate blocks blocks are unwritten submit IO ..... map blocks iomap indicates UNWRITTEN range loop { lock folio copyin data ..... IO completes runs unwritten extent conv blocks are marked written <iomap now stale> get next folio } Now add memory pressure such that memory reclaim evicts the partially written folio that has already been written to disk. When the new write finally gets to the last partial page of the new write, it does not find it in cache, so it instantiates a new page, sees the iomap is unwritten, and zeros the part of the page that it does not have data from. This overwrites the data on disk that was originally written. The full description of the corruption mechanism can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20220817093627.GZ3600936@dread.disaster.area/ To solve this problem, we need to check whether the iomap is still valid after we lock each folio during the write. We have to do it after we lock the page so that we don't end up with state changes occurring while we wait for the folio to be locked. Hence we need a mechanism to be able to check that the cached iomap is still valid (similar to what we already do in buffered writeback), and we need a way for ->begin_write to back out and tell the high level iomap iterator that we need to remap the remaining write range. The iomap needs to grow some storage for the validity cookie that the filesystem provides to travel with the iomap. XFS, in particular, also needs to know some more information about what the iomap maps (attribute extents rather than file data extents) to for the validity cookie to cover all the types of iomaps we might need to validate.
