For below two cases, we can't guarantee data consistence: a) 1. xfs_io "pwrite 0 4195328" "fsync" 2. xfs_io "pwrite 4195328 1024" "fdatasync" 3. godown 4. umount & mount --> isize we updated before fdatasync won't be recovered b) 1. xfs_io "pwrite -S 0xcc 0 4202496" "fsync" 2. xfs_io "fpunch 4194304 4096" "fdatasync" 3. godown 4. umount & mount --> dnode we punched before fdatasync won't be recovered The reason is that normally fdatasync won't be aware of modification of metadata in file, e.g. isize changing, dnode updating, so in ->fsync we will skip flushing node pages for above cases, result in making fdatasynced file being lost during recovery. Currently we have introduced DIRTY_META global list in sbi for tracking dirty inode selectively, so in fdatasync we can choose to flush nodes depend on dirty state of current inode in the list.
