Hi, I''m looking at the code for btrfs_file_aio_write(). Specifically, the following lines: first_index = pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; last_index = (pos + iov_iter_count(&i)) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; /* * there are lots of better ways to do this, but this code * makes sure the first and last page in the file range are * up to date and ready for cow */ if ((pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1))) { pinned[0] = grab_cache_page(inode->i_mapping, first_index); if (!PageUptodate(pinned[0])) { ret = btrfs_readpage(NULL, pinned[0]); BUG_ON(ret); wait_on_page_locked(pinned[0]); } else { unlock_page(pinned[0]); } } if ((pos + iov_iter_count(&i)) & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)) { pinned[1] = grab_cache_page(inode->i_mapping, last_index); if (!PageUptodate(pinned[1])) { ret = btrfs_readpage(NULL, pinned[1]); BUG_ON(ret); wait_on_page_locked(pinned[1]); } else { unlock_page(pinned[1]); } } Am I missing something, or is there an off-by-one error over here? The last byte in the written region would be "pos + iov_iter_count(&i) - 1", not "pos + iov_iter_count(&i)". I verified this by writing 4096 bytes at offset 0. first_index evaluates to 0 and last_index evaluates to 1. -Akshat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
