[PATCH RFC] fuse: Prevent background write requests increase inode size

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Tue Nov 06 2018 - 09:03:03 EST


Hi, Miklos,

this is not a well-tested patch, this is a concept,
showing the places, where it looks we have a problem.

Commit 7879c4e58b7c made io->async careless about inode size,
and this is wrong. Asyncronuos background requests may be sent
to userspace after inode becomes unlocked, when background
queue is throttled. In this case we execute a write request
extending inode size without any protection, and this ruines
everything. Fix that.

Also, some write background requests do not increment fi->writectr,
e.g.:
fuse_direct_IO()
fuse_direct_io()
fuse_send_write()
fuse_async_req_send()
fuse_request_send_background()

This is a reason fuse_sync_writes() does not work as expected.
Fix that too.
