From: Aihua Zhang <zhangaihua1@xxxxxxxxxx> I wrote a testcase to truncate a bin file while it is running at overlayfs. the result as below: Bus error (core dumped) I think it's not appropriate for filesystem, and fixed it by this patch. after the patch, result as below: status:-1 errno:26 ETXTBSY:26 PASS This is because the inode is not correct ,it should point to overlayfs rather than the upper filesystem.
