Subject: lguest example launcher truncates block device file to 0 length on problems
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f6a592e8abd2f2394623ce5427cbb4c265495974;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

lguest example launcher truncates block device file to 0 length on problems

The function should also use ftruncate64() rather than ftruncate() to prevent
files over 4GB (not uncommon for a root filesystem) being zeroed.
