commit f053cf7aa66cd9d592b0fc967f4d887c2abff1b7 upstream.
ext4 didn't properly clean up if verity failed to be enabled on a file:
- It left verity metadata (pages past EOF) in the page cache, which
would be exposed to userspace if the file was later extended.
- It didn't truncate the verity metadata at all (either from cache or
from disk) if an error occurred while setting the verity bit.
Fix these bugs by adding a call to truncate_inode_pages() and ensuring
that we truncate the verity metadata (both from cache and from disk) in
all error paths. Also rework the code to cleanly separate the success
path from the error paths, which makes it much easier to understand.

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.
