It doesn't make a lot of sense > (to me, anyway) for a read mapping to go beyond EOF. The slight concern I have with this is that that would change e.g. the behavior of IOMAP_REPORT. We could specialcase IOMAP_REPORT but then it gets kind of ugly. And it seems kind of fuzzy when do we truncate the extent with i_size and when not... Generally i_size is kind of a side-band thing for block mapping operations so if we could leave it out of ->iomap_begin I'd find that nicer. > > i_size).

So I'll just write patches, run them through fstests and see if something blows up. Honza -- Jan Kara SUSE Labs, CR
