[PATCH 3.16 228/305] tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Aug 14 2016 - 07:52:56 EST


3.16.37-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anthony Romano <anthony.romano@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe upstream.

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages. This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte. Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.

Fixes: 1635f6a74152f1d ("tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure")
