From 05eb0b51fb46430050d5873458612f53e0234f2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: OGAWA Hirofumi Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:02:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fat: support a truncate() for expanding size (generic_cont_expand) This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code with fatfs. - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error. Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some blocks. So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate(). - Add generic_cont_expand_simple(). The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle the block boundary. With this, we don't need to care the extra byte. And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the added generic_cont_expand_simple().
