From f8514083cd61daef12fba5ef883ad9352c450428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 00:56:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: truncate the file properly if we fail to copy data from userspace In generic_perform_write if we fail to copy the user data we don't update the inode->i_size. We should truncate the file in the above case so that we don't have blocks allocated outside inode->i_size. Add the inode to orphan list in the same transaction as block allocation This ensures that if we crash in between the recovery would do the truncate.
