Subject: Re: [PATCH] ubifs: account for short copies in ubifs_write_end
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 11:38:49 +0800 [thread overview]

> ubifs_write_end() updates i_size and ui_size to pos + len even when
> fewer bytes were copied. A one-byte write at EOF from an unreadable
> buffer can fail with EFAULT while extending the file by one byte.
> Partial writes can also extend the file past the last byte copied.
>
> Use pos + copied for size updates and cancel the budget when no data
> was copied. Keep the appending decision based on the requested length
> to match the inode budgeting and ui_mutex locking in ubifs_write_begin().
> If a short copy ends within the old size, release any unused inode budget
> without reducing the size, and still unlock ui_mutex.
