[PATCH 48/49] ext4: truncate the file properly if we fail to copy data from userspace

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Mon Jun 08 2009 - 15:26:44 EST

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In generic_perform_write if we fail to copy the user data we don't
update the inode->i_size. We should truncate the file in the above
case so that we don't have blocks allocated outside inode->i_size. Add
the inode to orphan list in the same transaction as block allocation
This ensures that if we crash in between the recovery would do the
truncate.
