Linux kernel source tree
At btrfs_write_check() if our file's i_size is not sector size aligned and we have a write that starts at an offset larger than the i_size that falls within the same page of the i_size, then we end up not zeroing the file range [i_size, write_offset). The code is this: start_pos = round_down(pos, fs_info->sectorsize); oldsize = i_size_read(inode); if (start_pos > oldsize) { /* Expand hole size to cover write data, preventing empty gap */ loff_t end_pos = round_up(pos + count, fs_info->sectorsize); ret = btrfs_cont_expand(BTRFS_I(inode), oldsize, end_pos); if (ret) return ret; } So if our file's i_size is 90269 bytes and a write at offset 90365 bytes comes in, we get 'start_pos' set to 90112 bytes, which is less than the i_size and therefore we don't zero out the range [90269, 90365) by calling btrfs_cont_expand().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
