commit 801674f34ecfed033b062a0f217506b93c8d5e8a upstream. We do not want to create initialized extents beyond end of file because for e2fsck it is impossible to distinguish them from a case of corrupted file size / extent tree and so it complains like: Inode 12, i_size is 147456, should be 163840. Fix? no Code in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() and ext4_split_convert_extents() try to make sure it does not create initialized extents beyond inode size however they check against inode->i_size which is wrong. They should instead check against EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize which is the current inode size on disk. That's what e2fsck is going to see in case of crash before all dirty data is written. This bug manifests as generic/456 test failure (with recent enough fstests where fsx got fixed to properly pass FALLOC_KEEP_SIZE_FL flags to the kernel) when run with dioread_lock mount option.

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.
