From 793736b192ee397205c24a424b3a5fa2ec82086b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 17:45:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix data corruption for mmap writes commit a056bdaae7a181f7dcc876cfab2f94538e508709 upstream. mpage_submit_page() can race with another process growing i_size and writing data via mmap to the written-back page. As mpage_submit_page() samples i_size too early, it may happen that ext4_bio_write_page() zeroes out too large tail of the page and thus corrupts user data. Fix the problem by sampling i_size only after the page has been write-protected in page tables by clear_page_dirty_for_io() call.

So read it twice and skip the page if it changed.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
