generic: test eofblocks race with file extending aio dio writes
It's possible for post-eof blocks to end up being used for direct
I/O writes. dio write performs an upfront unwritten extent
allocation, sends the dio and then updates the inode size (if
necessary) on write completion. If a file release occurs while a
file extending dio write is in flight, it is possible to mistake the
post-eof blocks for speculative preallocation and incorrectly
truncate them from the inode. This means that the resulting dio
write completion can discover a hole and allocate new blocks rather
than perform unwritten extent conversion.
A kernel warning can be reproduced by generic/299 on XFS:
XFS: Assertion failed: tp->t_blk_res_used <= tp->t_blk_res, \
file: fs/xfs//xfs_trans.c, line: 309
The root cause is that xfs_free_eofblocks() uses i_size to truncate
post-eof blocks from the inode, but async, file extending direct
writes do not update i_size until write completion, long after inode
locks are dropped. Therefore, xfs_free_eofblocks() effectively
truncates the inode to the incorrect size.
Besides reproduce above kernel warning, the verification of written
data is an important distinction between this test and generic/299.
For cover this filesystem corruption testing, write this new case to
check data integrality manually, not only depend on a kernel
warning.
To increase the test stress of aio-dio-eof-race, add two arguments
to this source code to change the file size will be written.
