The xfstests' test-case generic/729 fails with error: sudo ./check generic/729 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 7.0.0-rc1+ #36 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Apr 17 12:40:51 PDT 2026 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/729 23s ... [failed, exit status 1]- output mismatch mmap-rw-fault: /mnt/test/mmap-rw-fault.tmp: Input/output error The hfsplus_get_block() only allows creating the next sequential block. It returns -EIO for direct writes beyond EOF. This patch waits for any in-flight DIO on the inode to finish. Then, it extends the file by calling generic_cont_expand_simple() with the goal to guarantee that blockdev_direct_IO() finds all needed blocks already reachable sequentially. And, finally, it flushes and invalidates the DIO range again so the page cache is clean before the direct write begins. sudo ./check generic/729 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 7.0.0-rc1+ #40 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Apr 16 15:41:03 PDT 2026 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/729 23s ... 32s Ran: generic/729 Passed all 1 tests Closes: https://github.com/hfs-linux-kernel/hfs-linux-kernel/issues/210 Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org --- fs/hfsplus/inode.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/hfsplus/inode.c b/fs/hfsplus/inode.c index 922ff41df042..e747427eea00 100644 --- a/fs/hfsplus/inode.c +++ b/fs/hfsplus/inode.c @@ -125,9 +125,44 @@ static ssize_t hfsplus_direct_IO(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *iter) struct file *file = iocb->ki_filp; struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping; struct inode *inode = mapping->host; + loff_t isize; size_t count = iov_iter_count(iter); + loff_t end = iocb->ki_pos + count; ssize_t ret; + /* + * The hfsplus_get_block() only allows creating the next sequential block. + * For direct writes beyond EOF, expand the file first. + */ + if (iov_iter_rw(iter) == WRITE && iocb->ki_pos > i_size_read(inode)) { + loff_t start_off, end_off; + loff_t start_page, end_page; + + isize = i_size_read(inode); + + /* + * Wait for any in-flight DIO on this inode to finish before + * calling generic_cont_expand_simple(). + */ + inode_dio_wait(inode); + + ret = generic_cont_expand_simple(inode, iocb->ki_pos); + if (ret) + return ret; + + start_off = isize; + end_off = (end > 0) ? end - 1 : end; + + ret = filemap_write_and_wait_range(mapping, start_off, end_off); + if (ret) + return ret; + + start_page = start_off >> PAGE_SHIFT; + end_page = end_off >> PAGE_SHIFT; + + invalidate_inode_pages2_range(mapping, start_page, end_page); + } + ret = blockdev_direct_IO(iocb, inode, iter, hfsplus_get_block); /* @@ -135,8 +170,7 @@ static ssize_t hfsplus_direct_IO(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *iter) * blocks outside i_size.
