[PATCH] ext4: don't return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if the page was truncated

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

 



If a page is truncated out from underneath us it is not nice to segfault.  Other
fs's just returm VM_FAULT_NOPAGE which will make userspace retry the fault.  If
you are doing O_DIRECT to the same file which you are mmap'ing you will get
segfaults because sometims O_DIRECT will invalidate the mapping pages which will
make it disappear in the middle of the fault, which on ext4 will result in a
segfault, but everybody else this works fine.  Fixing this makes the
O_DIRECT/mmap test not crash.  Thanks,
