truncate_setsize — update inode and pagecache for a new file size

Synopsis

void truncate_setsize (struct inode * inode,
 loff_t newsize);
 

Arguments

inode

inode

newsize

new file size

Description

truncate_setsize updates i_size and performs pagecache truncation (if necessary) to newsize. It will be typically be called from the filesystem's setattr function when ATTR_SIZE is passed in.

Must be called with a lock serializing truncates and writes (generally i_mutex but e.g. xfs uses a different lock) and before all filesystem specific block truncation has been performed.
