[26/34] ext4: Avoid data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy data

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3024 bytes --]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

(cherry picked from commit b9a4207d5e911b938f73079a83cc2ae10524ec7f)

When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or
generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks
already instantiated beyond i_size.  Although these blocks were never
inside i_size, we have to truncate the pagecache of these blocks so
that corresponding buffers get unmapped.  Otherwise subsequent
__block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will
find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will
be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data
corruption.
