I see. For this section I merely left it as it was, i.e., truncate() was called only if it is extending and not otherwise. This ensures that the size is monotonically non-decreasing. If it were to shrink in one thread then it seems that another thread which had previously mapped something beyond the shrunk length could run into the SIGBUS.

Thanks,

Brian
