I don't think this is any more dangerous than uninitialized bytes beyond
i_size in the same block, or as a hole in the middle of the file exposing
stale data. That is to say, there is some risk, but not any worse. The
converse is true also - extending i_size to the end of the allocated blocks
will not only expose that data, but in some cases make applications think
the file is corrupted because there are now NULs at the end of the file.
If we think that the existing f_eofblocks test covers the same, then I'm
OK with removing this test. However, the one nice thing about the new test
is that it is generated by test scripts rather than being a binary blob,
so it is more clear what is being tested.
Cheers, Andreas
