From 7f556567036cb7f89aabe2f0954b08566b4efb53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:46:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: fix regression hang in fallocate undo The well-spotted fallocate undo fix is good in most cases, but not when fallocate failed on the very first page. index 0 then passes lend -1 to shmem_undo_range(), and that has two bad effects: (a) that it will undo every fallocation throughout the file, unrestricted by the current range; but more importantly (b) it can cause the undo to hang, because lend -1 is treated as truncation, which makes it keep on retrying until every page has gone, but those already fully instantiated will never go away. Big thank you to xfstests generic/269 which demonstrates this.
