Brian Foster 669c867972 xfs: serialize unaligned dio writes against all other dio writes 
commit 2032a8a27b upstream.

XFS applies more strict serialization constraints to unaligned
direct writes to accommodate things like direct I/O layer zeroing,
unwritten extent conversion, etc. Unaligned submissions acquire the
exclusive iolock and wait for in-flight dio to complete to ensure
multiple submissions do not race on the same block and cause data
corruption.

This generally works in the case of an aligned dio followed by an
unaligned dio, but the serialization is lost if I/Os occur in the
opposite order. If an unaligned write is submitted first and
immediately followed by an overlapping, aligned write, the latter
submits without the typical unaligned serialization barriers because
there is no indication of an unaligned dio still in-flight. This can
lead to unpredictable results.

To provide proper unaligned dio serialization, require that such
direct writes are always the only dio allowed in-flight at one time
for a particular inode. We already acquire the exclusive iolock and
drain pending dio before submitting the unaligned dio. Wait once
more after the dio submission to hold the iolock across the I/O and
prevent further submissions until the unaligned I/O completes. This
is heavy handed, but consistent with the current pre-submission
serialization for unaligned direct writes.

README 

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
