Subject: [PATCH 3.13 062/162] ext4: fix mmap data corruption when blocksize < pagesize

3.13.11.11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit d6320cbfc92910a3e5f10c42d98c231c98db4f60 upstream.

Use truncate_isize_extended() when hole is being created in a file so that
->page_mkwrite() will get called for the partial tail page if it is
mmaped (see the first patch in the series for details).
