Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] nolibc: Add fallocate()
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 18:03:50 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507090353.356764-1-daniel@thingy.jp> (raw)
While poking around with my "static PIE for nommu" series I found
I needed fallocate(). Implementing it turned out a bit more
interesting than I thought it would be due to how the offset and
size need to be passed on 32bit machines.
v4:
- Added statfs()...
- Reworked the test a bit to use statfs() to work out if /tmp
is a tmpfs or not and skip the test if it isn't. This skips
the test on sparc32 where CONFIG_TMPFS=n.
- Adding the needed bits to the sparc32 config to allow tmpfs
to be enabled allows it to run and pass the test. I will check
the changes and send a patch.
- Cleaned up the if() around deciding how to pass the parameters
for fallocate() based on the comments from David and Thomas.
- Test passed on all of the supported targets.
v3:
- Reworked the test a bit, ran it on all the targets I could get
to run (s390, loongarch and sh currently don't work for me).
sparc32 doesn't seem to support fallocate() so made it skip
the test.
- Rebase on nolibc/for-next with the large file support bits.
v2:
- Addressed Thomas' comments
- Trial and error'd a test for the arguments being passed correctly.
Hopefully someone smarter than I am can tell if it actually works.
