From e5c5f05dca0cf90f0f3bb1aea85dcf658baff185 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Patlasov Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 16:41:34 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] fuse: fix alignment in short read optimization for async_dio The bug was introduced with async_dio feature: trying to optimize short reads, we cut number-of-bytes-to-read to i_size boundary. Hence the following example: truncate --size=300 /mnt/file dd if=/mnt/file of=/dev/null iflag=direct led to FUSE_READ request of 300 bytes size. This turned out to be problem for userspace fuse implementations who rely on assumption that kernel fuse does not change alignment of request from client FS. The patch turns off the optimization if async_dio is disabled. And, if it's enabled, the patch fixes adjustment of number-of-bytes-to-read to preserve alignment. Note, that we cannot throw out short read optimization entirely because otherwise a direct read of a huge size issued on a tiny file would generate a huge amount of fuse requests and most of them would be ACKed by userspace with zero bytes read.
