In commit e53c4b598, I *tried* to teach xfs to force writeback when we
fzero/fpunch right up to EOF so that if EOF is in the middle of a page,
the post-EOF part of the page gets zeroed before we return to userspace.
Unfortunately, I missed the part where PAGE_MASK is ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1),
which means that we totally fail to zero if we're fpunching and EOF is
within the first page. Worse yet, the same PAGE_MASK thinko plagues the
filemap_write_and_wait_range call, so we'd initiate writeback of the
entire file, which (mostly) masked the thinko.
Drop the tricky PAGE_MASK and replace it with correct usage of PAGE_SIZE
and the proper rounding macros.
Fixes: e53c4b598 ("xfs: ensure post-EOF zeroing happens after zeroing part of a file")

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.
