If someone's mmap()ed the file and stored past EOF, for most filesystems the bytes in that page will be not-zero. It's a pretty minor violation; someone could race you and write to the file between the ftruncate() call and you reading from it, but it's a bit of a QOI violation. I've tested xfs (passes before & after), ext4 and tmpfs (both fail before, pass after). Testing from other FS developers appreciated. fstest to follow; not sure how to persuade git-send-email to work on multiple repositories Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (5): truncate: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file ext4: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file tmpfs: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file afs: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file btrfs: Zero bytes after 'oldsize' if we're expanding the file fs/afs/inode.c | 2 ++ fs/btrfs/inode.c | 1 + fs/ext4/inode.c | 1 + mm/shmem.c | 2 ++ mm/truncate.c | 7 +++++-- 5 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.35.1
