Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/6] f2fs: do not expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO

DIO preallocates physical blocks before writing data, but if an error occurrs
or power-cut happens, we can see block contents from the disk. This patch tries
to fix it by 1) turning to buffered writes for DIO into holes, 2) truncating
unwritten blocks from error or power-cut.

We will leave FADVISE_TRUNC_BIT flag in below call path, is this as expected?

- fallocate
- expand_inode_data
- f2fs_map_blocks(F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRE_DIO)

Thanks,
