Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:57:52 +0530 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: cmm@...ibm.com, tytso@....edu, sandeen@...hat.com Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH] ext3: truncate block allocated on a failed ext3_write_begin For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocte in block_wirte_begin if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks. block_write_begin internally does this if it allocated page locally. This make sure we don't have blocks outisde inode.i_size during ENOSPC Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> --- fs/ext3/inode.c | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext3/inode.c b/fs/ext3/inode.c index ebfec4d..f8424ad 100644 --- a/fs/ext3/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext3/inode.c @@ -1186,6 +1186,13 @@ static int ext3_write_begin(struct file *file, struct address_space *mapping, ext3_journal_stop(handle); unlock_page(page); page_cache_release(page); + /* + * block_write_begin may have instantiated a few blocks + * outside i_size.
