Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] fuse: don't drop destination page cache on a zero byte copy reply
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 08:40:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111133944.1667204-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107061705-failed-5.10-f7585e1ce341@kernel.org>

From: Joanne Koong <joannelkoong@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit f7585e1ce3418ec282485854b3d8d31c6a961e37 ]

__fuse_copy_file_range() clears the destination page cache after the
server replies:

	truncate_inode_pages_range(inode_out->i_mapping,
				   ALIGN_DOWN(pos_out, PAGE_SIZE),
				   ALIGN(pos_out + bytes_copied, PAGE_SIZE) - 1);

A server may legitimately reply that it copied nothing, eg if the source
file turns out to be shorter than the size the kernel has cached for it.

If pos_out is 0 as well, the end of the range is ALIGN(0, PAGE_SIZE) - 1,
which is -1. lend is a uoff_t and truncate_inode_pages_range() takes -1
as its end of file sentinel, so rather than clearing nothing it drops
every folio in the destination mapping.

That is not only a cache drop. truncate_cleanup_folio() calls
folio_cancel_dirty(), and fuse_writeback_range() only wrote back
[pos_out, pos_out + len - 1], so dirty data elsewhere in the destination
file is discarded without ever reaching the server.

Skip the call when the server copied nothing, since there is nothing
stale to clear in that case.
