[f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] f2fs: don't allow unaligned truncation to smaller size on pinned file

From: wangzijie
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 08:31:57 EST


To prevent scattered pin block generation, don't allow non-section aligned truncation
to smaller size on pinned file. But for truncation to larger size, after
commit 3fdd89b452c2("f2fs: prevent writing without fallocate() for pinned files"),
we only support overwrite IO to pinned file, so we don't need to consider
attr->ia_size > i_size case.
