Subject: [PATCH 2.6.33.y 31/40] ext4: Prevent creation of files larger than RLIMIT_FSIZE using fallocate

From: Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@...e.de>

commit 6d19c42b7cf81c39632b6d4dbc514e8449bcd346 upstream (as of v2.6.34-git13)

Currently using posix_fallocate one can bypass an RLIMIT_FSIZE limit
and create a file larger than the limit. Add a check for that.
