Damien Le Moal 14db5f64a9 zonefs: Improve error handling
Write error handling is racy and can sometime lead to the error recovery
path wrongly changing the inode size of a sequential zone file to an
incorrect value  which results in garbage data being readable at the end
of a file. There are 2 problems:

1) zonefs_file_dio_write() updates a zone file write pointer offset
   after issuing a direct IO with iomap_dio_rw(). This update is done
   only if the IO succeed for synchronous direct writes. However, for
   asynchronous direct writes, the update is done without waiting for
   the IO completion so that the next asynchronous IO can be
   immediately issued. However, if an asynchronous IO completes with a
   failure right before the i_truncate_mutex lock protecting the update,
   the update may change the value of the inode write pointer offset
   that was corrected by the error path (zonefs_io_error() function).

2) zonefs_io_error() is called when a read or write error occurs. This
   function executes a report zone operation using the callback function
   zonefs_io_error_cb(), which does all the error recovery handling
   based on the current zone condition, write pointer position and
   according to the mount options being used. However, depending on the
   zoned device being used, a report zone callback may be executed in a
   context that is different from the context of __zonefs_io_error(). As
   a result, zonefs_io_error_cb() may be executed without the inode
   truncate mutex lock held, which can lead to invalid error processing.

Fix both problems as follows:
- Problem 1: Perform the inode write pointer offset update before a
  direct write is issued with iomap_dio_rw(). This is safe to do as
  partial direct writes are not supported (IOMAP_DIO_PARTIAL is not
  set) and any failed IO will trigger the execution of zonefs_io_error()
  which will correct the inode write pointer offset to reflect the
  current state of the one on the device.
- Problem 2: Change zonefs_io_error_cb() into zonefs_handle_io_error()
  and call this function directly from __zonefs_io_error() after
  obtaining the zone information using blkdev_report_zones() with a
  simple callback function that copies to a local stack variable the
  struct blk_zone obtained from the device. This ensures that error
  handling is performed holding the inode truncate mutex.
  This change also simplifies error handling for conventional zone files
  by bypassing the execution of report zones entirely. This is safe to
  do because the condition of conventional zones cannot be read-only or
  offline and conventional zone files are always fully mapped with a
  constant file size.

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.
