In some cases, using the 'truncate' command to extend a UDF file results
in a mismatch between the length of the file's extents (specifically, due
to incorrect length of the final NOT_ALLOCATED extent) and the information
(file) length. The discrepancy can prevent other operating systems
(i.e., Windows 10) from opening the file.
Two particular errors have been observed when extending a file:
1. The final extent is larger than it should be, having been rounded up
to a multiple of the block size.
B. The final extent is not shorter than it should be, due to not having
been updated when the file's information length was increased.
[JK: simplified udf_do_extend_final_block(), fixed up some types]

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 Restructured Text 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.
