From 7426cc04d407621773af3a0403e57642e40c36bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miao Xie Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 10:54:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: punch hole past the end of the file Since we can pre-allocate the space past EOF, we should be able to reclaim that space if we need. This patch implements it by removing the EOF check. Though the manual of fallocate command says we can use truncate command to reclaim the pre-allocated space which past EOF, but because truncate command changes the file size, we must run several commands to reclaim the space if we don't want to change the file size, so it is not a good choice.
