a question for i_inode's i_size in ext2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear ext2 maintainers

  I have a question of inode's i_size. I found that it is hard to find
any consistent synchronization mechanism that protects inode's i_size
field.
  Is there any lock or synchronization mechanism that consistently
protects i_size fields of inode objects to avoid data race?
  In inode's definition in /include/linux/fs.h, there is comment that
i_lock protects i_size but it is not clear.

Sincerely
Shin Hong
