tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages.  This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte.  Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.

Fixes: 1635f6a ("tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure")
