to update inode for hole punching and reflinking\n\nIf we fail to update the inode we error out without aborting the\ntransaction, which can result in a persistent inconsistency if after\nthe failure the transaction is committed, as we have dropped file\nextent items from a range and either punched a hole or insert a new file\nextent item for that range (for reflinks).\n\nSo add the missing transaction abort.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-06T08:45:31.727+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T09:16:40.051+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
