From: Huiwen He <[email protected]> Fallocate can fail when extending EOF over a range previously allocated with KEEP_SIZE. For example, on an XFS filesystem with 7G total capacity: $ df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/loop0 7.0G 169M 6.8G 3% /mnt/test $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 4G" file $ xfs_io -c "falloc 0 4G" file fallocate: No space left on device The first fallocate has already allocated the whole 4G range and leaves about 2.8G free. The second fallocate should only extend EOF without allocating more data blocks. However, xfs_alloc_file_space() reserves space before xfs_bmapi_write() checks the existing mappings. The second 4G reservation therefore fails with ENOSPC. Fix this by walking the existing mappings first. Skip written and unwritten real extents, and call xfs_alloc_file_space() only for holes or delayed-allocation extents. Factor this into xfs_falloc_allocate_space(), shared by the allocate-range and unshare-range paths. After this change, both operations succeed: $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 4G" file $ xfs_io -c "falloc 0 4G" file $ xfs_io -c "falloc -u 0 4G" file Reported-by: Paulo Alcantara <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cifs/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Huiwen He <[email protected]> --- Testing: - All supported tests in the xfstests prealloc and unshare groups passed. fs/xfs/xfs_file.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 55 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_file.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_file.c index 845a97c9b063..bfb37a73661a 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_file.c +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_file.c @@ -1413,6 +1413,59 @@ xfs_falloc_zero_range( return xfs_falloc_setsize(file, new_size); } +/* + * Allocate only mappings that are not already backed by physical blocks. + * This avoids reserving data space for real extents before + * xfs_bmapi_write() discovers the existing mappings. + */ +static int +xfs_falloc_allocate_space( + struct xfs_inode *ip, + loff_t offset, + loff_t len) +{ + struct xfs_mount *mp = ip->i_mount; + struct xfs_bmbt_irec imap; + xfs_fileoff_t start_fsb = XFS_B_TO_FSBT(mp, offset); + xfs_fileoff_t end_fsb = XFS_B_TO_FSB(mp, offset + len); + unsigned int lock_mode; + int error = 0; + + xfs_assert_ilocked(ip, XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL | XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL); + + lock_mode = xfs_ilock_data_map_shared(ip); + while (start_fsb < end_fsb) { + xfs_filblks_t count_fsb = end_fsb - start_fsb; + int nimaps = 1; + + error = xfs_bmapi_read(ip, start_fsb, count_fsb, &imap, + &nimaps, 0); + if (error) + break; + if (XFS_IS_CORRUPT(mp, nimaps != 1 || + imap.br_startoff != start_fsb || + !imap.br_blockcount || + imap.br_blockcount > count_fsb)) { + error = -EFSCORRUPTED; + break; + } + + start_fsb += imap.br_blockcount; + if (xfs_bmap_is_real_extent(&imap)) + continue; + + xfs_iunlock(ip, lock_mode); + error = xfs_alloc_file_space(ip, + XFS_FSB_TO_B(mp, imap.br_startoff), + XFS_FSB_TO_B(mp, imap.br_blockcount)); + if (error) + return error; + lock_mode = xfs_ilock_data_map_shared(ip); + } + xfs_iunlock(ip, lock_mode); + return error; +} + static int xfs_falloc_unshare_range( struct file *file, @@ -1432,7 +1485,7 @@ xfs_falloc_unshare_range( if (error) return error; - error = xfs_alloc_file_space(XFS_I(inode), offset, len); + error = xfs_falloc_allocate_space(XFS_I(inode), offset, len); if (error) return error; return xfs_falloc_setsize(file, new_size); @@ -1460,7 +1513,7 @@ xfs_falloc_allocate_range( if (error) return error; - error = xfs_alloc_file_space(XFS_I(inode), offset, len); + error = xfs_falloc_allocate_space(XFS_I(inode), offset, len); if (error) return error; return xfs_falloc_setsize(file, new_size); -- 2.43.0
