[PATCH 7.1 13/76] ext4: protect WRITE_ZEROES written extents with orphan list

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit f7237a775c8f3e99e0e77b7c10fb626815fb2877 ]

In ext4_alloc_file_blocks(), the WRITE_ZEROES path converts unwritten
extents to written in one transaction, while i_disksize is updated to
cover them only in a later transaction. A crash in between leaves
written extents beyond i_disksize on disk, which fsck will complain
about.

To fix this, add the inode to the orphan list in the same handle that
does the conversion, and remove it once i_disksize has caught up.
Also add a sanity check to ensure conversion does not extend beyond EOF.

Since ext4_alloc_file_blocks() is called from the fallocate() path,
partial allocation is safe. On partial conversion failure, advance
i_disksize only up to the boundary of successfully converted blocks, so
that orphan cleanup sees a consistent state. Document this behavior in
the function comment.
