[PATCH v5 4/9] xfs: clamp a pNFS LAYOUTCOMMIT extent before computing its end

From: Daejun Park via B4 Relay

Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 22:27:14 EST


From: Daejun Park <daejun7.park@xxxxxxxxxxx>

xfs_fs_commit_blocks() adds the client's length to the offset before it
clamps the end to the file size. A large length wraps the sum and
reaches xfs_iomap_write_unwritten() unclamped. With the previous two
patches the LAYOUTCOMMIT then fails with -EIO and converts nothing.

Clamp the length first.

Tested with pynfs: a LAYOUTCOMMIT of 2^64 - 4 KiB at 4 KiB got
NFS4ERR_IO and a WARNING. Now it converts up to the hole, then fails.
