[patch 6/9] mm: be sure to trim blocks

From: Nick Piggin
Date: Mon Jan 29 2007 - 05:34:55 EST


If prepare_write fails with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, or if commit_write fails, then
we may have failed the write operation despite prepare_write having
instantiated blocks past i_size. Fix this, and consolidate the trimming into
one place.
