Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] smb/client: reduce fallocate zero buffer allocation
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 23:21:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701152157.822207-3-huiwen.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701152157.822207-1-huiwen.he@linux.dev>

From: Huiwen He <hehuiwen@kylinos.cn>

The fallocate emulation allocates a 1 MiB zero-filled buffer even
though each SMB2_write request is limited to SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE,
which is 64 KiB. A high-order 1 MiB allocation is more likely to
fail on a fragmented system.

Allocate only the smaller of the requested range and SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE,
and reuse that zero-filled buffer for every write request. Also reject
a successful write that makes no progress to avoid looping indefinitely.

This reduces the contiguous allocation required by fallocate emulation
without changing the written data or range semantics.
