Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] smb/client: do not account EOF extension as allocation
Date: Sat,  6 Jun 2026 00:35:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605163519.169916-3-huiwen.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260605163519.169916-1-huiwen.he@linux.dev>

From: Huiwen He <hehuiwen@kylinos.cn>

cifs_setsize() updates the local inode size after SetEOF succeeds. It also
used the new EOF as a local i_blocks estimate, but extending EOF does not
prove that the intervening range was allocated.

For example, after writing 1 MiB and then extending EOF to 10 MiB, the
client can report the file as fully allocated even though the server still
reports a much smaller AllocationSize:

	$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=1
	$ truncate -s 10M test && stat -c 'size=%s blocks=%b' test
        $ stat --cached=never -c 'size=%s blocks=%b' test

	client stat:		size=10485760 blocks=20480
	server stat:		size=10485760 blocks=2056
	client stat(nocache):	size=10485760 blocks=2056

A later attribute revalidation may correct i_blocks, but callers such as
xfstests generic/495 invoke swapon immediately after truncate. The swapfile
hole check can therefore observe the inflated local i_blocks value and
accept a sparse file.

Do not grow i_blocks from cifs_setsize() on EOF extension.  Only clamp it
on shrink; allocation growth must come from write completion or from
server-reported AllocationSize.

With this change, EOF extension no longer makes a sparse file appear
fully allocated before the next attribute revalidation, and xfstests
generic/495 correctly rejects the sparse swapfile.
