The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: no need try to truncate file beyond i_size has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-no-need-try-to-truncate-file-beyond-i_size.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Changwei Ge chge@linux.alibaba.com Subject: ocfs2: no need try to truncate file beyond i_size
Linux fallocate(2) with FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE mode set, its offset can exceed inode size. Ocfs2 now does't allow that offset beyond inode size. This restriction is not necessary and voilates fallocate(2) semantics.
If fallocate(2) offset is beyond inode size, just return success and do nothing further.
Otherwise, ocfs2 will crash the kernel.
