From 5da4b53abb4424f4b502a37425ffe4e46a7df5b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yongqiang Yang Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:29:12 -0500 Subject: ext4: handle EOF correctly in ext4_bio_write_page() commit 5a0dc7365c240795bf190766eba7a27600be3b3e upstream. We need to zero out part of a page which beyond EOF before setting uptodate, otherwise, mapread or write will see non-zero data beyond EOF.
