xfs_can_free_eofblocks returns false for files that have persistent preallocations unless the force flag is passed and there are delayed blocks. This means it won't free delalloc reservations for files with persistent preallocations unless the force flag is set, and it will also free the persistent preallocations if the force flag is set and the file happens to have delayed allocations. Both of these are bad, so do away with the force flag and always free only post-EOF delayed allocations for files with the XFS_DIFLAG_PREALLOC or APPEND flags set.

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.
