xfs: add missing ilock around dio write last extent alignment
The iomap codepath (via get_blocks()) acquires and release the inode lock in the case of a direct write that requires block allocation. This is because xfs_iomap_write_direct() allocates a transaction, which means the ilock must be dropped and reacquired after the transaction is allocated and reserved. xfs_iomap_write_direct() invokes xfs_iomap_eof_align_last_fsb() before the transaction is created and thus before the ilock is reacquired. This can lead to calls to xfs_iread_extents() and reads of the in-core extent list without any synchronization (via xfs_bmap_eof() and xfs_bmap_last_extent()). xfs_iread_extents() assert fails if the ilock is not held, but this is not currently seen in practice as the current callers had already invoked xfs_bmapi_read(). What has been seen in practice are reports of crashes down in the xfs_bmap_eof() codepath on direct writes due to seemingly bogus pointer references from xfs_iext_get_ext(). While an explicit reproducer is not currently available to confirm the cause of the problem, crash analysis and code inspection from David Jeffrey had identified the insufficient locking. xfs_iomap_eof_align_last_fsb() is called from other contexts with the inode lock already held, so we cannot acquire it therein. __xfs_get_blocks() acquires and drops the ilock with variable flags to cover the event that the extent list must be read in. The common case is that __xfs_get_blocks() acquires the shared ilock. To provide locking around the last extent alignment call without adding more lock cycles to the dio path, update xfs_iomap_write_direct() to expect the shared ilock held on entry and do the extent alignment under its protection. Demote the lock, if necessary, from __xfs_get_blocks() and push the xfs_qm_dqattach() call outside of the shared lock critical section. Also, add an assert to document that the extent list is always expected to be present in this path. Otherwise, we risk a call to xfs_iread_extents() while under the shared ilock. This is safe as all current callers have executed an xfs_bmapi_read() call under the current iolock context.
