Hi Jan,

I saw the following warning while fuzzing with trinity:

[385644.689209] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 23536 at mm/truncate.c:740 pagecache_isize_extended+0x124/0x180()

[385644.761818] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:186)

But I'm not really sure how that happens... truncate_setsize() changes the inode
size before calling pagecache_isize_extended():

	i_size_write(inode, newsize);
	if (newsize > oldsize)
		pagecache_isize_extended(inode, oldsize, newsize);
	truncate_pagecache(inode, newsize);

And notify_change() is verifying that i_mutex is held:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!mutex_is_locked(&inode->i_mutex));

So it doesn't look like a race either.


Thanks,
Sasha

Well, looking at the code it can be a race which is specific to 9p
filesystem. It seems to me that 9p can update i_size from
v9fs_refresh_inode_dotl(). That can be called v9fs_lookup_revalidate()
without holding i_mutex. Now I'm not sure d_revalidate() can really race
with truncate on the same inode (whether there isn't something else
protecting this). Al should know better...
