Subject: [PATCH 4/5] coredump: fix unexpected truncation of generated core
|
|
|
de9238 |
files
|
|
|
de9238 |
|
|
|
de9238 |
Core files generated by crash gcore command are sometimes unexpectedly
|
|
|
de9238 |
truncated. Then, we can get aware of this from the following warning
|
|
|
de9238 |
message output by gdb:
|
|
|
de9238 |
|
|
|
de9238 |
BFD: warning: /root/./core.1.systemd is truncated: expected core file size >= 43606016, found: 43597824
|
|
|
de9238 |
|
|
|
de9238 |
From the investigation, it turned out that this truncation is
|
|
|
de9238 |
occurring when there is no write() operation after the area skipped by
|
|
|
de9238 |
lseek(). Holes are generated only when there is write() operation.
|
|
|
de9238 |
|
|
|
de9238 |
To fix this issue, use ftruncate() to allocate holes explicitly.
