Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hfs: set s_maxbytes from the volume capacity
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 16:49:23 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106004923.1844283-3-slava@dubeyko.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106004923.1844283-1-slava@dubeyko.com>
Likewise HFS+, HFS returned -ENOSPC instead of -EFBIG when
a write targets an offset beyond the capacity of the volume.
hfs_fill_super() does not set s_maxbytes, so it keeps the
VFS default of MAX_NON_LFS (2GiB - 1). On a volume smaller
than that, the VFS limit checks consider the position valid
and the request reaches the file system. Because HFS does
not support holes, cont_write_begin() then tries to zero-fill
the whole gap up to the target offset, and the operation
fails with -ENOSPC.
This was previously worked around by a local check against
the volume capacity in hfs_write_begin(). That check only
covered the write path and only the start offset: truncate
up, copy_file_range() and writes that straddle the limit
were not handled.
Every byte of an HFS file up to end-of-file must be backed
by an allocated block, so a file can never be larger than
the volume. Set s_maxbytes to the volume capacity
(fs_ablocks * alloc_blksz, capped by MAX_NON_LFS). The VFS
then returns -EFBIG for write(), copy_file_range(), truncate
and fallocate beyond that limit, and trims writes that
straddle it. Drop the now redundant local check from
hfs_write_begin().
Fixes: c6decf13bf90 ("hfs: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity")
