Oleg, nice advise! Thanks.
So the whole fix becomes something like this:
diff --git a/fs/coredump.c b/fs/coredump.c index a93f7e6..8c17f1d 100644 --- a/fs/coredump.c +++ b/fs/coredump.c @@ -664,6 +664,14 @@ void do_coredump(const siginfo_t *siginfo) if (!dump_interrupted()) { file_start_write(cprm.file); core_dumped = binfmt->core_dump(&cprm); + /* + * If last operation was dump_skip with llseek, we need to + * truncate file up to f_pos to match expected size. + */ + if (!ispipe && + (cprm.file->f_pos > i_size_read(file_inode(cprm.file)))) + do_truncate(cprm.file->f_path.dentry, + cprm.file->f_pos, 0, cprm.file); file_end_write(cprm.file); } if (ispipe && core_pipe_limit) May I use your name with Suggested-by tag?
Thanks, Victor
