[ Upstream commit 8b9433eb4de3c26a9226c981c283f9f4896ae030 ] On a DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem, the ->get_block() method is currently not allowed to create blocks for an empty inode. This confusion comes from trying to bit shift a negative number, so check the size of the inode first. The problem is most visible for hfsplus, because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen and the write fails with EIO. This is in part the fault of the module, because it gives a wrong return value on ->get_block(); that will be fixed in a separate patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
