Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix i_disksize exceeding i_size problem in paritally written case
Date:   Fri, 17 Mar 2023 09:35:53 +0800

Following process makes i_disksize exceed i_size:

generic_perform_write
 copied = iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(len) // copied < len
 ext4_da_write_end
 | ext4_update_i_disksize
 |  new_i_size = pos + copied;
 |  WRITE_ONCE(EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize, newsize) // update i_disksize
 | generic_write_end
 |  copied = block_write_end(copied, len) // copied = 0
 |   if (unlikely(copied < len))
 |    if (!PageUptodate(page))
 |     copied = 0;
 |  if (pos + copied > inode->i_size) // return false
 if (unlikely(copied == 0))
  goto again;
 if (unlikely(iov_iter_fault_in_readable(i, bytes))) {
  status = -EFAULT;
  break;
 }

We get i_disksize greater than i_size here, which could trigger WARNING
check 'i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' while doing dio:

ext4_dio_write_iter
 iomap_dio_rw
  __iomap_dio_rw // return err, length is not aligned to 512
 ext4_handle_inode_extension
  WARN_ON_ONCE(i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize) // Oops

 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2609 at fs/ext4/file.c:319
 CPU: 2 PID: 2609 Comm: aa Not tainted 6.3.0-rc2
 RIP: 0010:ext4_file_write_iter+0xbc7
 Call Trace:
  vfs_write+0x3b1
  ksys_write+0x77
  do_syscall_64+0x39

Fix it by putting block_write_end() before i_disksize updating just
like ext4_write_end() does.
