The patch titled Subject: tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is tmpfs-truncate-prealloc-blocks-past-i_size.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/tmpfs-truncate-prealloc-blocks-past-i_size.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/tmpfs-truncate-prealloc-blocks-past-i_size.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> Subject: tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M) pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0) ftruncate(5M) on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF). I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the correct value of "Blocks: 10240".
