The f2fs supports 4KB block size. If user requests dwrite with under 4KB data, it allocates a new 4KB data block. However, f2fs doesn't add zero data into the untouched data area inside the newly allocated data block. This incurs an error during the xfstest #263 test as follow. 263 12s ...

Finally, the output file contains a garbage data for that region.
