But i guess we should make sure we drop any preallocation that we did as a part of the block allocation. Otherwise we definitely can get multiple claimed blocks. But this can happen only if we have block allocation and truncate happening on the same file simultaneously. With delayed allocation i guess it is possible that pdflush tries to do block allocation while application does a truncate diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index 10539e3..14539b5 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -113,6 +113,7 @@ static int ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart(handle_t *handle, */ ext4_ext_invalidate_cache(inode); + ext4_discard_preallocations(inode); return err; } -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
