Subject: [PATCH 2/6] ext4: skip truncate when verity in progress in ->write_begin()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

When an error (e.g. ENOSPC) occurs during ext4_write_begin() when called
from ext4_write_merkle_tree_block(), skip truncating the file.  i_size
is not meaningful in this case, and the truncation is handled by
ext4_end_enable_verity() instead.  Also, this was triggering the
WARN_ON(!inode_is_locked(inode)) in ext4_truncate().

Fixes: ea54d7e4c0f8 ("ext4: add basic fs-verity support")
