When compressed file has blocks, f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write will succeed, but compressed flag will be remained in inode. If write partial compreseed cluster and commit atomic write will cause data corruption. This is the reproduction process: Step 1: create a compressed file ,write 64K data , call fsync(), then the blocks are write as compressed cluster. Step2: iotcl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE) --- this should be fail, but not. write page 0 and page 3. iotcl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE) -- page 0 and 3 write as normal file, Step3: drop cache. read page 0-4 -- Since page 0 has a valid block address, read as non-compressed cluster, page 1 and 2 will be filled with compressed data or zero. The root cause is, after commit 7eab7a696827 ("f2fs: compress: remove unneeded read when rewrite whole cluster"), in step 2, f2fs_write_begin() only set target page dirty, and in f2fs_commit_inmem_pages(), we will write partial raw pages into compressed cluster, result in corrupting compressed cluster layout.

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. 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.
