    fs: truncate blocks outside i_size after O_DIRECT write error · 0f64415d
    Dmitri Monakhov authored
    In case of error extending write may have instantiated a few blocks
    outside i_size.  We need to trim these blocks.  We have to do it
    *regardless* to blocksize.  At least ext2, ext3 and reiserfs interpret
    (i_size < biggest block) condition as error.  Fsck will complain about
    wrong i_size.  Then fsck will fix the error by changing i_size according
    to the biggest block.  This is bad because this blocks contain garbage
    from previous write attempt.  And result in data corruption.
    
    ####TESTCASE_BEGIN
    $touch /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
    ## at this moment /mnt/test/BIG_FILE size and blocks equal to zero
    open("/mnt/test/BIG_FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT, 0666) = 3
    write(3, "aaaaaaaaaaaa"..., 104857600) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)
    ## size and block sould't be changed because write op failed.
    $stat /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
    File: `/mnt/test/BIG_FILE'
    Size: 0 Blocks: 110896 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
    <<<<<<<<^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^file size is less than biggest block idx
