From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocated in block_write_begin() if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks. block_write_begin() internally does this if it allocated page locally. This makes sure we don't have blocks outside inode.i_size during ENOSPC.
