[PATCH] reiserfs: Truncate blocks not used by a write (v2)

From: Jan Kara
Date: Wed Sep 16 2009 - 13:25:23 EST


It can happen that write does not use all the blocks allocated in write_begin
either because of some filesystem error (like ENOSPC) or because page with
data to write has been removed from memory. We truncate these blocks so that
we don't have dangling blocks beyond i_size.
