The patch below illustrates the use of vfs_allocate() by ecryptfs.
---
eCryptfs does not allocate space in the lower file until writepage. In
low free space situation, this leads to the application thinking the
write succeeds but it actually fails later when the page is written out.
This patch preallocates the space in the write path using fallocate()
first. For lower file systems that do not support fallocate(), it falls back
to writing the encrypted page directly to the lower file. The
preallocation is only done for writes that extend the file.
