The cifs filesystem doesn't quite emulate FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE correctly
(note that due to lack of protocol support, it can't actually implement it
directly). Whilst it will (partially) invalidate dirty folios in the
pagecache, it doesn't write them back first, and so the EOF marker on the
server may be lower than inode->i_size.
This presents a problem, however, as if the punched hole invalidates the
tail of the locally cached dirty data, writeback won't know it needs to
move the EOF over to account for the hole punch (which isn't supposed to
move the EOF). We could just write zeroes over the punched out region of
the pagecache and write that back - but this is supposed to be a
deallocatory operation.
Fix this by manually moving the EOF over on the server after the operation
if the hole punched would corrupt it.
Note that the FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA RPC and the setting of the EOF should
probably be compounded to stop a third party interfering (or, at least,
massively reduce the chance).
This was reproducible occasionally by using fsx with the following script:
truncate 0x0 0x375e2 0x0
punch_hole 0x2f6d3 0x6ab5 0x375e2
truncate 0x0 0x3a71f 0x375e2
mapread 0xee05 0xcf12 0x3a71f
write 0x2078e 0x5604 0x3a71f
write 0x3ebdf 0x1421 0x3a71f *
punch_hole 0x379d0 0x8630 0x40000 *
mapread 0x2aaa2 0x85b 0x40000
fallocate 0x1b401 0x9ada 0x40000
read 0x15f2 0x7d32 0x40000
read 0x32f37 0x7a3b 0x40000 *
The second "write" should extend the EOF to 0x40000, and the "punch_hole"
should operate inside of that - but that depends on whether the VM gets in
and writes back the data first. If it doesn't, the file ends up 0x3a71f in
size, not 0x40000.
