Creating written extents beyond EOF

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

 



Hi Dave,

7684e2c4384d5d1f884b01ab8bff2369e4db0bff
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7684e2c4384d5d1f884b01ab8bff2369e4db0bff)
is one of the commits that needs to be backported to 5.4.y stable kernel.

The commit message mentions that we could have written extents beyond EOF. I
am unable to come up with a sequence of commands that could create such
extents.

Can you please explain how a user could create a file having written extents
beyond EOF?
