Since commit d531d91d6990 ("xfs: always use unwritten extents for
direct I/O writes"), we start allocating unwritten extents for all
direct writes to allow appending aio in XFS.
But for dio writes that could extend file size we update the in-core
inode size first, then convert the unwritten extents to real
allocations at dio completion time in xfs_dio_write_end_io(). Thus a
racing direct read could see the new i_size and find the unwritten
extents first and read zeros instead of actual data, if the direct
writer also takes a shared iolock.
Fix it by updating the in-core inode size after the unwritten extent
conversion. To do this, introduce a new boolean argument to
xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() to tell if we want to update in-core
i_size or not.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
