ext3: truncate block allocated on a failed ext3_write_begin
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocated in
block_write_begin() if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks.
block_write_begin() internally does this if it allocated page locally.
This makes sure we don't have blocks outside inode.i_size during ENOSPC.
