SubjectRe: retry:[PATCH] fix e rror : a bin file can truncate itself while running on overlayfs
Hi,

Thanks for the report and the testcase.

Here's a patch using a different approach (overlayfs philosophy is to minimize
VFS footprint).

Thanks,
Miklos

Subject: ovl: get_write_access() in truncate

When truncating a file we should check write access on the underlying
inode. And we should do so on the lower file as well (before copy-up) for
consistency.

Original patch and test case by Aihua Zhang.

- - >o >o - - test.c - - >o >o - -
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ret;

ret = truncate(argv[0], 4096);
if (ret != -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "truncate(argv[0]) should have failed\n");
return 1;
}
if (errno != ETXTBSY) {
perror("truncate(argv[0])");
return 1;
}

return 0;
}
