From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Hugh Dickins Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 13:07:04 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: References: <1432049251-3298-1-git-send-email-jbacik@fb.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Cc: Josef Bacik , linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Morton Return-path: In-Reply-To: Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org From: Josef Bacik One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M) pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0) ftruncate(5M) on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF). I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the correct value of "Blocks: 10240".
