From 0f6925fa2907df58496cabc33fa4677c635e2223 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qu Wenruo Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:26:13 +0800 Subject: btrfs: Avoid truncate tailing page if fallocate range doesn't exceed inode size Current code will always truncate tailing page if its alloc_start is smaller than inode size. For example, the file extent layout is like: 0 4K 8K 16K 32K |<-----Extent A---------------->| |<--Inode size: 18K---------->| But if calling fallocate even for range [0,4K), it will cause btrfs to re-truncate the range [16,32K), causing COW and a new extent. 0 4K 8K 16K 32K |///////| <- Fallocate call range |<-----Extent A-------->|<--B-->| The cause is quite easy, just a careless btrfs_truncate_inode() in a else branch without extra judgment. Fix it by add judgment on whether the fallocate range is beyond isize.
