From 6d19c42b7cf81c39632b6d4dbc514e8449bcd346 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikanth Karthikesan Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 14:00:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Prevent creation of files larger than RLIMIT_FSIZE using fallocate Currently using posix_fallocate one can bypass an RLIMIT_FSIZE limit and create a file larger than the limit. Add a check for that.
