Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: fix COLLAPSE_RANGE failure issue on ext4 with 1KB
 block size

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@...sung.com>

When formatting with 1KB or 2KB(not aligned with PAGE SIZE) block size,
xfstests generic/075 and 091 are failing. The offset supplied to function
truncate_pagecache_range is block size aligned. In this function start offset
is re-aligned to PAGE_SIZE by rounding_up to the next page boundary.
Due to this rounding up, old data remains in the page cache when blocksize is
less than page size and start offset is not aligned with page size.
In case of collapse range, we need to align start offset to page size boundary
by doing a round down operation instead of round up.
