Subject: [PATCH 2/2] smb/client: mark file sparse before emulating insert range
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:21:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813132136.366532-3-huiwen.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813132136.366532-1-huiwen.he@linux.dev>
From: Huiwen He <hehuiwen@kylinos.cn>
The SMB client emulates FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE with SET_EOF, COPYCHUNK
and SET_ZERO_DATA.
SET_ZERO_DATA creates a hole only when the file is sparse. On a
non-sparse file, it clears the inserted range but leaves its blocks
allocated, causing the extent count check in xfstests generic/064 to
fail.
Try to mark the file sparse before starting the emulation. As with
existing file extension paths, ignore SET_SPARSE errors and continue
with the existing zero-filled behavior.
Tested with xfstests generic/064 against Samba and ksmbd.
Fixes: 7fe6fe95b936 ("cifs: add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support")
