The buffered write failure handling code in xfs_file_iomap_end_delalloc() has a couple minor problems. First, if written == 0, start_fsb is not rounded down and it fails to kill off a delalloc block if the start offset is block unaligned. This results in a lingering delalloc block and broken delalloc block accounting detected at unmount time. Fix this by rounding down start_fsb in the unlikely event that written == 0. Second, it is possible for a failed overwrite of a delalloc extent to leave dirty pagecache around over a hole in the file. This is because is possible to hit ->iomap_end() on write failure before the iomap code has attempted to allocate pagecache, and thus has no need to clean it up. If the targeted delalloc extent was successfully written by a previous write, however, then it does still have dirty pages when ->iomap_end() punches out the underlying blocks. This ultimately results in writeback over a hole. To fix this problem, unconditionally punch out the pagecache from XFS before the associated delalloc range.

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.
