The WRITE|DIRECT check doesn't look right to me, because the expression returns true for any write or any directio. I think that's currently "ok" because ext4_iomap_end is only called for directio writes, but this bugs me anyway. For a directio write fallback, that comparison really should be: (flags & (WRITE|DIRECT)) == (WRITE|DIRECT) static inline bool ext4_want_directio_fallback(unsigned flags, ssize_t written) { /* must be a directio to fall back to buffered */ if (flags & (IOMAP_WRITE | IOMAP_DIRECT)) != (IOMAP_WRITE | IOMAP_DIRECT) return false; /* atomic writes are all-or-nothing */ if (flags & IOMAP_ATOMIC) return false; /* can only try again if we wrote nothing */ return written == 0; } if (ext4_want_directio_fallback(flags, written)) return -ENOTBLK; > + && written == 0) Nit: put the '&&' operator on the previous line when there's a multiline expression. --D > return -ENOTBLK; > > return 0; > -- > 2.46.0 > >

atomic writes is currently only supported for single fsblock and only for direct-io. We should not return -ENOTBLK for atomic writes since we want the atomic write request to either complete fully or fail otherwise. We should not fallback to buffered-io in case of DIO atomic write requests. Let's also catch if this ever happens by adding some WARN_ON_ONCE before buffered-io handling for direct-io atomic writes.
