Assigning pos for usage early messes up in append mode, where the pos is
re-assigned in generic_write_checks(). Assign pos later to get the
correct position to write from iocb->ki_pos.
Since check_can_nocow also uses the value of pos, we shift
generic_write_checks() before check_can_nocow(). Checks with IOCB_DIRECT
are present in generic_write_checks(), so checking for IOCB_NOWAIT is
enough.
Also, put locking sequence in the fast path.
This fixes a user visible bug, as reported:
"apparently breaks several shell related features on my system.
In zsh history stopped working, because no new entries are added
anymore.
I fist noticed the issue when I tried to build mplayer. It uses a shell
script to generate a help_mp.h file:
[...]
Here is a simple testcase:
% echo "foo" >> test
% echo "foo" >> test
% cat test
foo
%
"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
