fs: truncate blocks outside i_size after O_DIRECT write error
In case of error extending write may have instantiated a few blocks outside i_size. We need to trim these blocks. We have to do it *regardless* to blocksize. At least ext2, ext3 and reiserfs interpret (i_size < biggest block) condition as error. Fsck will complain about wrong i_size. Then fsck will fix the error by changing i_size according to the biggest block. This is bad because this blocks contain garbage from previous write attempt. And result in data corruption. ####TESTCASE_BEGIN $touch /mnt/test/BIG_FILE ## at this moment /mnt/test/BIG_FILE size and blocks equal to zero open("/mnt/test/BIG_FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT, 0666) = 3 write(3, "aaaaaaaaaaaa"..., 104857600) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) ## size and block sould't be changed because write op failed. $stat /mnt/test/BIG_FILE File: `/mnt/test/BIG_FILE' Size: 0 Blocks: 110896 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file <<<<<<<<^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^file size is less than biggest block idx Device: fe07h/65031d Inode: 14 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2007-01-24 20:03:38.000000000 +0300 Modify: 2007-01-24 20:03:38.000000000 +0300 Change: 2007-01-24 20:03:39.000000000 +0300 #fsck.ext3 -f /dev/VG/test e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 14, i_size is 0, should be 56556544.
