posix_fallocate() does an explicit rollback if it gets EINTR, and this is a problem on slow systems because when the allocation size is sufficiently large posix_fallocate() will always be interrupted by the smart scheduler's SIGALRM.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
