ocfs2: Zero the tail cluster when extending past i_size.
ocfs2's allocation unit is the cluster. This can be larger than a block or even a memory page. This means that a file may have many blocks in its last extent that are beyond the block containing i_size. There also may be more unwritten extents after that. When ocfs2 grows a file, it zeros the entire cluster in order to ensure future i_size growth will see cleared blocks. Unfortunately, block_write_full_page() drops the pages past i_size. This means that ocfs2 is actually leaking garbage data into the tail end of that last cluster. This is a bug. We adjust ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() and ocfs2_extend_file() to detect when a write or truncate is past i_size. They will use ocfs2_zero_extend() to ensure the data is properly zeroed. Older versions of ocfs2_zero_extend() simply zeroed every block between i_size and the zeroing position. This presumes three things: 1) There is allocation for all of these blocks. 2) The extents are not unwritten. 3) The extents are not refcounted. (1) and (2) hold true for non-sparse filesystems, which used to be the only users of ocfs2_zero_extend(). (3) is another bug. Since we're now using ocfs2_zero_extend() for sparse filesystems as well, we teach ocfs2_zero_extend() to check every extent between i_size and the zeroing position. If the extent is unwritten, it is ignored. If it is refcounted, it is CoWed. Then it is zeroed. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
