Jun Wu at Facebook reported that an internal service was seeing a return
value of 1 from ftruncate() on Btrfs in some cases. This is coming from
the NEED_TRUNCATE_BLOCK return value from btrfs_truncate_inode_items().
btrfs_truncate() uses two variables for error handling, ret and err.
When btrfs_truncate_inode_items() returns non-zero, we set err to the
return value. However, NEED_TRUNCATE_BLOCK is not an error. Make sure we
only set err if ret is an error (i.e., negative).
To reproduce the issue: mount a filesystem with -o compress-force=zstd
and the following program will encounter return value of 1 from
ftruncate:
int main(void) {
char buf[256] = { 0 };
int ret;
int fd;
fd = open("test", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC, 0666);
if (fd == -1) {
perror("open");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if (write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)) != sizeof(buf)) {
perror("write");
close(fd);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if (fsync(fd) == -1) {
perror("fsync");
close(fd);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
ret = ftruncate(fd, 128);
if (ret) {
printf("ftruncate() returned %d\n", ret);
close(fd);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
close(fd);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
