[PATCH for-4.2 v2 3/3] block/file-posix: Let post-EOF fallocate serialize |
Date: |

The XFS kernel driver has a bug that may cause data corruption for qcow2
images as of qemu commit c8bb23cbdbe32f. We can work around it by
treating post-EOF fallocates as serializing up until infinity (INT64_MAX
in practice).
