From: yangerkun <yangerkun@xxxxxxxxxx> Any extended write for ext4 requires the inode to be placed on the orphan list before the actual write. In addition, the inode can be actually removed from the orphan list only after all writes are completed. Otherwise, those overcommitted blocks (If the allocated blocks are not written due to certain reasons, the inode size does not exceed the offset of these blocks) The leak status is always retained, and fsck reports an alarm for this scenario. Currently, the dio and buffer IO comply with this logic. However, the dax write will removed the inode from orphan list since ext4_handle_inode_extension is unconditionally called during extend write. Fix it with this patch. We open the code from ext4_handle_inode_extension since we want to keep the blocks valid has been allocated and write success.
