Commit 4275b59673eb ("f2fs: fix to round down start offset of fallocate
for pin file") moved the allocation loop's start down to a section
boundary, but the error path still converts @expanded against @pg_start,
which holds the unrounded start.
@pg_start exists for that conversion: commit 88f2cfc5fa90 ("f2fs: fix to
update last i_size if fallocate partially succeeds") added it as an
immutable base because map.m_lblk moves every round. Each round now maps
exactly sec_blks blocks starting from rounddown(pg_start, sec_blks), so
pg_start + expanded overshoots the last allocated block by
pg_start % sec_blks, and a partial failure leaves i_size covering a tail
that was never allocated. Nothing corrects that afterwards either, since
file_dont_truncate() has already cleared FADVISE_TRUNC_BIT.
It needs a start offset that is not section aligned plus a fallocate that
hits ENOSPC partway, so the error path runs with expanded > 0. On an
80 MiB image with 2 MiB sections:
truncate -s 80M img
mkfs.f2fs -s 1 -f img
mount -o loop img /mnt
touch /mnt/pinned
f2fs_io pinfile set /mnt/pinned
# 2093056 = block 511, so pg_start % sec_blks = 511
f2fs_io fallocate 0 2093056 536870912 /mnt/pinned
stat -c %s /mnt/pinned
filefrag -v /mnt/pinned
The last extent ends at block 10737 either way. Before, i_size is
46075904, block 11249, so 511 blocks of it were never allocated, and
filefrag does not mark the last extent eof. After, i_size is 43982848,
block 10738, and eof is back. A kernel from before that commit also
shows no overshoot.
Keep @pg_start pointing at where allocation actually begins.
