It cannot be called for directory because in do_fallocate (which calls
fat_fallocate), there is check to open the file in write mode.
If it is opened in read only mode, it returns bad file descriptor:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
do_fallocate()
{
...
..
if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
return -EBADF;
....
..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cannot open a directory in write mode. So fallocate can never be
called for a directory.
As long as user appends data to file (instead of seeking to an offset
greater than inode->i_size and writing to it), it can guarantee.
But if user use random offset, it can not..

Okay, I will remove message.
and I will change return sucess instead of EINVAL.

As explained above, if we do append write instead of seeking into a
random offset, there is no security risk. The main disadvantage with
initializing the
preallocated space (as is done in case of without FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
) is it takes long time for bigger allocation sizes. It took ~70
seconds to preallocate 2GB on our target if FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is
not set.
Thanks.
