[PATCH 8/8] xfs: ensure post-EOF zeroing happens after zeroing part of a file

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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a user asks us to zero_range part of a file, the end of the range is
EOF, and not aligned to a page boundary, invoke writeback of the EOF
page to ensure that the post-EOF part of the page is zeroed.  This
ensures that we don't expose stale memory contents via mmap, if in a
clumsy manner.

Found by running generic/127 when it runs zero_range and mapread at EOF
one after the other.
