Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to avoid potential section-unaligned pinfile
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:49:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629114918.224537-1-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
Blocks of pinfile may not aligned to section size due to wrong use
on pinfile, result in heavy overhead of GC, let avoid this by
adding additional check condition in f2fs_setattr().
- truncate -s 8mb pinfile
: random checkpoint may persist filesize w/ inode
- fallocate -o 0 -l 8mb pinfile
- f2fs_fallocate
- f2fs_expand_inode_data
- f2fs_allocate_pinning_section
- f2fs_map_blocks
- f2fs_map_lock
- __allocate_data_block
- file_need_truncate
: w/ FADVISE_TRUNC_BIT, we can expect unaligned mapping can be
truncated while open() if f2fs is not umount abnormally
- f2fs_map_unlock
: following f2fs checkpoint and sudden power-cut
- mount
- open pinfile
- f2fs_file_open
- finish_preallocate_blocks
- truncate_setsize
: filesize is 8mb
- f2fs_truncate
: can only truncate block outside filesize, rather than truncating
unaligned blocks inside filesize
Fixes: f5a53edcf01e ("f2fs: support aligned pinned file")
