Fix tmpfs data loss when the fallocate system call is interrupted by a signal, or fails for some other reason. The partial folio handling in shmem_undo_range() forgot to consider this unfalloc case, and was liable to erase or truncate out data which had already been committed earlier. It turns out that none of the partial folio handling there is appropriate for the unfalloc case, which just wants to proceed to removal of whole folios: which find_get_entries() provides, even when partially covered. Original patch by Rui Wang.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
