ftruncate may only be called on regular files. This became broken in a5f73a6dcd. Revert to the previous behaviour and pass O_TRUNC to the initial open() call instead of truncating it with ftruncate(). Also we can call ftruncate() to the final size also when the file previously didn't exist. Fixes: a5f73a6dcd ("libfile: copy_file: explicitly truncate to final size") Reported-by: Bastian Krause <bst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- lib/libfile.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/libfile.c b/lib/libfile.c index 863b6833a5..20bb689a79 100644 --- a/lib/libfile.c +++ b/lib/libfile.c @@ -353,6 +353,10 @@ int copy_file(const char *src, const char *dst, int verbose) goto out; } + /* Set O_TRUNC only if file exists and is a regular file */ + if (!s && S_ISREG(dststat.st_mode)) + mode |= O_TRUNC; + dstfd = open(dst, mode); if (dstfd < 0) { printf("could not open %s: %s\n", dst, errno_str()); @@ -360,17 +364,13 @@ int copy_file(const char *src, const char *dst, int verbose) goto out; } - ret = ftruncate(dstfd, 0); - if (ret) - goto out; - ret = stat(src, &srcstat); if (ret) goto out; if (srcstat.st_size != FILESIZE_MAX) { discard_range(dstfd, srcstat.st_size, 0); - if (S_ISREG(dststat.st_mode)) { + if (s || S_ISREG(dststat.st_mode)) { ret = ftruncate(dstfd, srcstat.st_size); if (ret) goto out; -- 2.28.0 _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
