[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: fix O_DIRECT cleanup range for append writes

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When an O_DIRECT write falls back to buffered I/O,
f2fs_flush_buffered_write() uses orig_pos to flush and invalidate
the page cache.

For O_APPEND writes, f2fs_write_checks() updates iocb->ki_pos to
the end of the file after orig_pos has been saved. As a result,
the cleanup range can differ from the actual buffered write range.

Save the write position after f2fs_write_checks() and use it for
the forced buffered I/O cleanup.

Fixes: 92318f20d703 ("f2fs: preserve direct write semantics when buffering is forced")
