commit 6d19c42b7cf81c39632b6d4dbc514e8449bcd346 Author: Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de> Date: Sun May 16 14:00:00 2010 -0400 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.
