[PATCH 4/5] afs: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file

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

 



POSIX requires that "If the file size is increased, the extended area
shall appear as if it were zero-filled".  It is possible to use mmap to
write past EOF and that data will become visible instead of zeroes.
