PATCH 1/2 Btrfs: fix missing inode i_size update after zero range operation

From: Filipe Manana <[email protected]>

For a fallocate's zero range operation that targets a range with an end that is not aligned to the sector size, we can end up not updating the inode's i_size. This happens when the last page of the range maps to an unwritten (prealloc) extent and before that last page we have either a hole or a written extent. This is because in this scenario we relied on a call to btrfs_prealloc_file_range() to update the inode's i_size, however it can only update the i_size to the "down aligned" end of the range.

Example:

 $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
 $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
 $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 0 428K" /mnt/foobar
 $ xfs_io -c "falloc -k 428K 4K" /mnt/foobar
 $ xfs_io -c "fzero 0 430K" /mnt/foobar
 $ du --bytes /mnt/foobar
 438272	/mnt/foobar

The inode's i_size was left as 428Kb (438272 bytes) when it should have been updated to 430Kb (440320 bytes).
Fix this by always updating the inode's i_size explicitly after zeroing the range.

Added to 4.16 queue, thanks.
