commit 91562895f8030cb9a0470b1db49de79346a69f91 upstream.
Gao Xiang has reported that on ext4 O_SYNC direct IO does not properly
sync file size update and thus if we crash at unfortunate moment, the
file can have smaller size although O_SYNC IO has reported successful
completion. The problem happens because update of on-disk inode size is
handled in ext4_dio_write_iter() *after* iomap_dio_rw() (and thus
dio_complete() in particular) has returned and generic_file_sync() gets
called by dio_complete(). Fix the problem by handling on-disk inode size
update directly in our ->end_io completion handler.

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.
