[PATCH 12/16] tmpfs: refuse memlock when fallocated beyond i_size

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Fri Jul 30 2021 - 04:00:24 EST


F_MEM_LOCK is accounted by i_size, but fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,,)
could have added many pages beyond i_size, which would also be held as
Unevictable from memory. The mlock_ucounts check in shmem_fallocate() is
fine, but shmem_memlock_fcntl() needs to check fallocend too. We could
change F_MEM_LOCK accounting to use the max of i_size and fallocend, but
fallocend is obscure: I think it's better just to refuse the F_MEM_LOCK
(with EPERM) if fallocend exceeds (page-rounded) i_size.
