ext4: fix interaction between i_size, fallocate, and delalloc after a crash
If there are pending writes subject to delayed allocation, then i_size will show size after the writes have completed, while i_disksize contains the value of i_size on the disk (since the writes have not been persisted to disk). If fallocate(2) is called with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag, either with or without the FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag set, and the new size after the fallocate(2) is between i_size and i_disksize, then after a crash, if a journal commit has resulted in the changes made by the fallocate() call to be persisted after a crash, but the delayed allocation write has not resolved itself, i_size would not be updated, and this would cause the following e2fsck complaint: Inode 12, end of extent exceeds allowed value (logical block 33, physical block 33441, len 7) This can only take place on a sparse file, where the fallocate(2) call is allocating blocks in a range which is before a pending delayed allocation write which is extending i_size. Since this situation is quite rare, and the window in which the crash must take place is typically < 30 seconds, in practice this condition will rarely happen. Nevertheless, it can be triggered in testing, and in particular by xfstests generic/456.
