This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled hpfs: don't truncate the file when delete fails to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt16. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From e7677de2991018adc70fe0783efc97c7359dc7a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@twibright.com> Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 18:17:38 +0100 Subject: hpfs: don't truncate the file when delete fails commit b6853f78e763d42c7a158d8de3549c9827c604ab upstream. The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space during splitting. If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit 7dd29d8d865efdb00c0542a5d2c87af8c52ea6c7 ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex and lock it on every callback from VFS"). This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in non-leaf btree node.
