It seems that systemd needs tmpfs to support fallocate,

fallocate support to tmpfs.

As we already have shmem_truncate_range(), it is also easy
to add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE support too.


...

+static long shmem_fallocate(struct file *file, int mode,

+{

+	pgoff_t start = offset>>  PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
+	pgoff_t end = DIV_ROUND_UP((offset + len), PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);
+	pgoff_t index = start;
+	loff_t i_size = i_size_read(inode);
+	struct page *page = NULL;
+	int ret = 0;
+
+	mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);

It would be saner and less racy-looking to read i_size _after_ taking
i_mutex.

And if you do that, there's no need to use i_size_read() - just a plain
old

	i_size = inode->i_size;

is OK.

Fair enough, I will fix that in V3.

Thanks, Andrew!
