    ocfs2: fix data corruption after conversion from inline format · 5314454e

    Commit 6dbf7bb5 ("fs: Don't invalidate page buffers in
    block_write_full_page()") uncovered a latent bug in ocfs2 conversion
    from inline inode format to a normal inode format.
    
    The code in ocfs2_convert_inline_data_to_extents() attempts to zero out
    the whole cluster allocated for file data by grabbing, zeroing, and
    dirtying all pages covering this cluster.  However these pages are
    beyond i_size, thus writeback code generally ignores these dirty pages
    and no blocks were ever actually zeroed on the disk.
    
    This oversight was fixed by commit 693c241a ("ocfs2: No need to zero
    pages past i_size.") for standard ocfs2 write path, inline conversion
    path was apparently forgotten; the commit log also has a reasoning why
    the zeroing actually is not needed.
    
    After commit 6dbf7bb5, things became worse as writeback code stopped
    invalidating buffers on pages beyond i_size and thus these pages end up
    with clean PageDirty bit but with buffers attached to these pages being
    still dirty.  So when a file is converted from inline format, then
    writeback triggers, and then the file is grown so that these pages
    become valid, the invalid dirtiness state is preserved,
    mark_buffer_dirty() does nothing on these pages (buffers are already
    dirty) but page is never written back because it is clean.  So data
    written to these pages is lost once pages are reclaimed.
    
    Simple reproducer for the problem is:
    
      xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 2000" -c "pwrite 2000 2000" -c "fsync" \
        -c "pwrite 4000 2000" ocfs2_file
    
    After unmounting and mounting the fs again, you can observe that end of
    'ocfs2_file' has lost its contents.
    
    Fix the problem by not doing the pointless zeroing during conversion
    from inline format similarly as in the standard write path.
