Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to round down start offset of fallocate for pin
 file

Currently, the length of fallocate for pin file is section-aligned to
keep allocated sections from being selected as victims of GC. However,
for the case that the start offset of fallocate is not aligned in
section, the allocated sections can't be fully utilized. It's because a
new section is allocated by f2fs_allocate_pinning_section() after using
blks_per_sec blocks regardless of the start offset. As a result, several
unexpected dirty segments may be created, including blocks assigned to
the pinned file.

To address this issue, let's round down the start offset of fallocate
to the length of section.

The reproducing scenario is as below

chunk=$(((2<<20)+4096)) # 2MB + 4KB
touch test
f2fs_io pinfile set test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 0 $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $chunk $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $((chunk*2)) $chunk test
f2fs_io fiemap 0 $((chunk*3)) test

Fiemap: offset = 0 len = 12288
    logical addr.    physical addr.   length           flags
0   0000000000000000 000000068c600000 0000000000400000 00001088
