[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 - 21:18:13 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.

I missed attr->ia_size == i_size case...I will cover that in next version.
