[PATCH RESEND v4] fat: editions to support fat_fallocate

From: Namjae Jeon
Date: Sat Apr 13 2013 - 23:58:27 EST


From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Implement preallocation via the fallocate syscall on VFAT partitions.

Change Log:
v4: Rework based on review comments.
Add check in fat_setattr to release fallocated blocks on a truncate

v3: Release preallocated blocks at file release.

With FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, there is no way to distinguish if the
mismatch between i_size and no. of clusters allocated is a consequence
of fallocate or just plain corruption. When a non fallocate aware (old)
linux fat driver tries to write to such a file, it throws an error.Also,
fsck detects this as inconsistency and truncates the prealloc'd blocks.

To avoid this, as suggested by OGAWA, remove changes that make fallocate
persistent across mounts and restrict lifetime of blocks from
fallocate(2) to file release.

v2: On an area preallocated with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, when a seek was
done to an offset beyond i_size, the old (garbage) data was exposed as
we did not zero out the area at allocation time. Added
fat_zero_falloc_area() to fix this.

v1: Reworked an earlier patch of the same name
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/22/130) to fix some bugs:
i) Preallocated space was not persistent and was lost on remount. Fixed
it.
ii) Did not zero out allocated clusters when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE was set,
thereby speeding up preallocation time.
