This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size <= isize to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-only-call-ext4_truncate-when-size-isize.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3da40c7b089810ac9cf2bb1e59633f619f3a7312 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 00:31:26 -0400 Subject: ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size <= isize From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> commit 3da40c7b089810ac9cf2bb1e59633f619f3a7312 upstream. At LSF we decided that if we truncate up from isize we shouldn't trim fallocated blocks that were fallocated with KEEP_SIZE and are past the new i_size. This patch fixes ext4 to do this. [ Completely reworked patch so that i_disksize would actually get set when truncating up. Also reworked the code for handling truncate so that it's easier to handle. -- tytso ] Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/inode.c | 40 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c @@ -4534,8 +4534,10 @@ int ext4_setattr(struct dentry *dentry, ext4_journal_stop(handle); } - if (attr->ia_valid & ATTR_SIZE && attr->ia_size != inode->i_size) { + if (attr->ia_valid & ATTR_SIZE) { handle_t *handle; + loff_t oldsize = inode->i_size; + int shrink = (attr->ia_size <= inode->i_size); if (!(ext4_test_inode_flag(inode, EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS))) { struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb); @@ -4543,24 +4545,26 @@ int ext4_setattr(struct dentry *dentry, if (attr->ia_size > sbi->s_bitmap_maxbytes) return -EFBIG; } + if (!S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) + return -EINVAL; if (IS_I_VERSION(inode) && attr->ia_size != inode->i_size) inode_inc_iversion(inode); - if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) && + if (ext4_should_order_data(inode) && (attr->ia_size < inode->i_size)) { - if (ext4_should_order_data(inode)) { - error = ext4_begin_ordered_truncate(inode, + error = ext4_begin_ordered_truncate(inode, attr->ia_size); - if (error) - goto err_out; - } + if (error) + goto err_out; + } + if (attr->ia_size != inode->i_size) { handle = ext4_journal_start(inode, EXT4_HT_INODE, 3); if (IS_ERR(handle)) { error = PTR_ERR(handle); goto err_out; } - if (ext4_handle_valid(handle)) { + if (ext4_handle_valid(handle) && shrink) { error = ext4_orphan_add(handle, inode); orphan = 1; } @@ -4579,15 +4583,13 @@ int ext4_setattr(struct dentry *dentry, up_write(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem); ext4_journal_stop(handle); if (error) { - ext4_orphan_del(NULL, inode); + if (orphan) + ext4_orphan_del(NULL, inode); goto err_out; } - } else { - loff_t oldsize = inode->i_size; - - i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size); - pagecache_isize_extended(inode, oldsize, inode->i_size); } + if (!shrink) + pagecache_isize_extended(inode, oldsize, inode->i_size); /* * Blocks are going to be removed from the inode.
