Subject: [PATCH 3/3] f2fs: fix to zero data after EOF for compressed file correctly

From: Chao Yu <chaseyu@...gle.com>

generic/091 may fail, then it bisects to the bad commit ba8dac350faf
("f2fs: fix to zero post-eof page").

What will cause generic/091 to fail is something like below Testcase #1:
1. write 16k as compressed blocks
2. truncate to 12k
3. truncate to 20k
4. verify data in range of [12k, 16k], however data is not zero as
expected

Script of Testcase #1
mkfs.f2fs -f -O extra_attr,compression /dev/vdb
mount -t f2fs -o compress_extension=* /dev/vdb /mnt/f2fs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=12k count=1
dd if=/dev/random of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=4k count=1 seek=3 conv=notrunc
sync
truncate -s $((12*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/file
truncate -s $((20*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/file
dd if=/mnt/f2fs/file of=/mnt/f2fs/data bs=4k count=1 skip=3
od /mnt/f2fs/data

Analisys:
in step 2), we will redirty all data pages from #0 to #3 in compressed
cluster, and zero page #3,
in step 3), f2fs_setattr() will call f2fs_zero_post_eof_page() to drop
all page cache post eof, includeing dirtied page #3,
in step 4) when we read data from page #3, it will decompressed cluster
and extra random data to page #3, finally, we hit the non-zeroed data
post eof.

However, the commit ba8dac350faf ("f2fs: fix to zero post-eof page") just
let the issue be reproduced easily, w/o the commit, it can reproduce this
bug w/ below Testcase #2:
1. write 16k as compressed blocks
2. truncate to 8k
3. truncate to 12k
4. truncate to 20k
5. verify data in range of [12k, 16k], however data is not zero as
expected

Script of Testcase #2
mkfs.f2fs -f -O extra_attr,compression /dev/vdb
mount -t f2fs -o compress_extension=* /dev/vdb /mnt/f2fs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=12k count=1
dd if=/dev/random of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=4k count=1 seek=3 conv=notrunc
sync
truncate -s $((8*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/file
truncate -s $((12*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/file
truncate -s $((20*1024)) /mnt/f2fs/file
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
dd if=/mnt/f2fs/file of=/mnt/f2fs/data bs=4k count=1 skip=3
od /mnt/f2fs/data
umount /mnt/f2fs

Anlysis:
in step 2), we will redirty all data pages from #0 to #3 in compressed
cluster, and zero page #2 and #3,
in step 3), we will truncate page #3 in page cache,
in step 4), expand file size,
in step 5), hit random data post eof w/ the same reason in Testcase #1.

Root Cause:
In f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster(), after we truncate partial data block
on compressed cluster, all pages in cluster including the one post eof
will be dirtied, after another tuncation, dirty page post eof will be
dropped, however on-disk compressed cluster is still valid, it includes
invalid data post eof, result in exposing previous data post eof while
reading.

Fix:
In f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster(), let change as below to fix:
- don't dirty pages post eof
- call filemap_write_and_wait_range() to flush page
- call truncate_pagecache() to drop pages or zero partial page post eof
