[added to the 4.1 stable tree] tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page

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

 



From: Anthony Romano <anthony.romano@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe ]

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages.  This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte.  Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.

Fixes: 1635f6a74152f1d ("tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure")
