            Bug ID: 219136
           Summary: ext4: dax: overflowing extents beyond inode size when
                    partially writing
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: chengzhihao1@huawei.com
        Regression: No

The dax_iomap_rw() does two things in each iteration: map written blocks
    and copy user data to blocks. If the process is killed by user(See signal
    handling in dax_iomap_iter()), the copied data will be returned and added
    on inode size, which means that the length of written extents may exceed
    the inode size, then fsck will fail. An example is given as:

    dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=4M count=1
     dax_iomap_rw
      iomap_iter // round 1
       ext4_iomap_begin
        ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 0~2M extents(written flag)
      dax_iomap_iter // copy 2M data
      iomap_iter // round 2
       iomap_iter_advance
        iter->pos += iter->processed // iter->pos = 2M
       ext4_iomap_begin
        ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 2~4M extents(written flag)
      dax_iomap_iter
       fatal_signal_pending
      done = iter->pos - iocb->ki_pos // done = 2M
     ext4_handle_inode_extension
      ext4_update_inode_size // inode size = 2M

    fsck reports: Inode 13, i_size is 2097152, should be 4194304.  Fix?
