commit91562895f8upstream. 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.
