commit 5899593f51e63dde2f07c67358bd65a641585abb upstream.
Eric has noticed that after pagecache read rework, generic/418 is
occasionally failing for ext4 when blocksize < pagesize. In fact, the
pagecache rework just made hard to hit race in ext4 more likely. The
problem is that since ext4 conversion of direct IO writes to iomap
framework (commit 378f32bab3), we update inode size after direct IO
write only after invalidating page cache. Thus if buffered read sneaks
at unfortunate moment like:
CPU1 - write at offset 1k CPU2 - read from offset 0
iomap_dio_rw(..., IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT);
ext4_readpage();
ext4_handle_inode_extension()
the read will zero out tail of the page as it still sees smaller inode
size and thus page cache becomes inconsistent with on-disk contents with
all the consequences.
Fix the problem by moving inode size update into end_io handler which
gets called before the page cache is invalidated.
