Subject: [PATCH 09/12] coredump: take freeze protection for the truncate
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 11:47:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-9-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114-work-fs-frozen_writes-v1-0-f5ae61c898b1@kernel.org>
coredump_file() truncates the core file after filp_open() returned.
The open took freeze protection for the create but dropped it again
before returning and coredump_write() only takes it for the dump
itself. So a freeze that lands in between lets the truncate modify a
frozen filesystem.
Take freeze protection around the truncate like do_ftruncate() does.
Fixes: 14da9200140f ("fs: Protect write paths by sb_start_write - sb_end_write")
