[PATCH] writeback: fix range handling
When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
This patch does,
- Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
-1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1"
u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)"
or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
- All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
- Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates
->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
scanned.
