Subject: [PATCH 6.6 1/2] fs,fsverity: reject size changes on fsverity files in setattr_prepare
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 23:38:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006213815.47194-2-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006213815.47194-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
commit e9734653c523c744f03333ece6ae7a315187f05c upstream.
Add the check to reject truncates of fsverity files directly to
setattr_prepare instead of requiring the file system to handle it.
Besides removing boilerplate code, this also fixes the complete lack of
such check in btrfs.
Fixes: 146054090b08 ("btrfs: initial fsverity support")
