From: Jie Liu <jeff....@oracle.com> Create a small file and fallocate it to a big size with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option, then truncate it back to the small size again, the disk free space is not changed back in this case. i.e,
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=512 count=1 # ls -l /mnt total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Jun 28 11:35 test # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on .... /dev/sdb1 8.0G 56K 7.2G 1% /mnt # xfs_io -c 'falloc -k 512 5G' /mnt/test # ls -l /mnt/test -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Jun 28 11:35 /mnt/test # sync; df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on .... /dev/sdb1 8.0G 5.1G 2.2G 70% /mnt # xfs_io -c 'truncate 512' /mnt/test # sync; df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on .... /dev/sdb1 8.0G 5.1G 2.2G 70% /mnt With this fix, the truncated up space is back as: # sync; df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on .... /dev/sdb1 8.0G 56K 7.2G 1% /mnt Signed-off-by: Jie Liu <jeff....@oracle.com> --- fs/btrfs/inode.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/inode.c b/fs/btrfs/inode.c index 4f9d16b..7e1a5ff 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/inode.c @@ -4509,9 +4509,6 @@ static int btrfs_setsize(struct inode *inode, struct iattr *attr) int mask = attr->ia_valid; int ret; - if (newsize == oldsize) - return 0; - /* * The regular truncate() case without ATTR_CTIME and ATTR_MTIME is a * special case where we need to update the times despite not having -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
