Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] tmpfs: zero post-eof ranges on file extension
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:22:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121152246.1023918-1-bfoster@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Apologies for the quicker than expected respin here, but during
discussion with Baolin on v2 it became apparent that I factored the
first two patches in an unnecessarily confusing way, and I wanted to get
that resolved more quickly. Otherwise there are a few smaller changes
here that I think are incremental improvements.
Baolin, I left off the R-b tag from v2 just out of caution and how I
reworked the first two patches. The end result is mostly similar, but
I'd appreciate a quick look before adding that back. Otherwise most of
the functionality here should be the same as v2.
Thoughts, reviews, flames appreciated.
Brian
v3:
- Reorder changes in patches 1-2 to factor out existing logic first.
- Use local scope variable in shmem_writeout() fallocend block.
- Tweak combined zeroing logic in shmem_writeout().
- Clean up commit logs.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20251112162522.412295-1-bfoster@redhat.com/
- Rework to zero uptodate post-eof folios on writeout and full range
from EOF on size extension.
- Misc. cleanups: variable renames (pos -> end), code relocation,
comment cleanups/removal.
- Update commit log to call out POSIX requirement.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20250625184930.269727-1-bfoster@redhat.com/
