When mixing buffered reads and asynchronous direct writes, it is
possible to end up with the situation where we have stale data in
the page cache while the new data is already written to disk.

Hi,

This case add a new C program into src/aio-dio-regress/. I tried to
use some existent program to make some AIO load to trigger this bug,
but I found it's very hard.

For trigger this bug ASAP, I had to write a new program. And from
the my test results, it really can reproduce this bug quickly.

More details about this bug please check:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9851671/

Thanks,
Zorro

Hi,

thanks for writing the test. Couple of comments below.

Do you have to do the allocation with every iteration ? Seems like a
waste to me. Also you forgot to free the memory so eventually you'll run
dry. It would be better to change it so you only allocate it once.

Not sure why it's "corruption while extending" ?

First thing I'd do after the test fails would be to drop the caches and
see whether the content changes. That would confirm that the problem is
indeed page cache inconsistency. So maybe it would be nice to confirm it
right away within the test itself ?

Unfortunatelly this did not work for me. I had to increase the
multiplicator to 1000 (with 4 CPUs I had 4000 iterations) otherwise I
was not able to hit it. Those 4000 iterations in my case took about 16s
which would be perfectly fine for me. Maybe running the test for
predetermined length of time might be a better idea ?

Also I am not sure why nr_cpu matters here ?

Thanks!
