Steps of generic/794:
1. write 4096 bytes to file w/ 0x5a
2. use fiemap to get PBA of first block in file
3. truncate file to 4080
4. umount; write 4096 bytes to file w/ 0x5a directly via PBA; mount
5. extend filesize via
a) append 4096 from offset 4096, or
b) truncate 8192, or
c) fallocate 4096 from offset 4096
6. verify the gap is zeroed in memory [4080,4096)
7. sync range 4096 from offset 4096; shutdown -f (flush meta before shutdown)
8. umount; mount; verify [4080,4096) is zeroed or not.
When extending file size (e.g. via truncate, fallocate, or write) across an
unaligned EOF boundary, we need to ensure that post-EOF data in the partial
page is zeroed out in pagecache and marked dirty, then writeback the cache to
persist zeroed data before committing inode w/ updated i_size.
This help to prevent stale disk data beyond the previous EOF from being exposed
after remounting or crash recovery.
Since f2fs is a LFS filesystem, we only support direct write via PBA in pinfile,
and pinfile has section-aligned filesize, so in Android, there should no problem,
but for other usage in different environment, let's fix this w/ fsync_mode=strict
mount option.
