XFS applies more strict serialization constraints to unaligned direct writes to accommodate things like direct I/O layer zeroing, unwritten extent conversion, etc. Unaligned submissions acquire the exclusive iolock and wait for in-flight dio to complete to ensure multiple submissions do not race on the same block and cause data corruption. This generally works in the case of an aligned dio followed by an unaligned dio, but the serialization is lost if I/Os occur in the opposite order. If an unaligned write is submitted first and immediately followed by an overlapping, aligned write, the latter submits without the typical unaligned serialization barriers because there is no indication of an unaligned dio still in-flight. This can lead to unpredictable results. To provide proper unaligned dio serialization, require that such direct writes are always the only dio allowed in-flight at one time for a particular inode. We already acquire the exclusive iolock and drain pending dio before submitting the unaligned dio. Wait once more after the dio submission to hold the iolock across the I/O and prevent further submissions until the unaligned I/O completes. This is heavy handed, but consistent with the current pre-submission serialization for unaligned direct writes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
