Subject: fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFS
From: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@xxxxxxx>
Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:
when we allocate block(in this situation 16K) we mark as new
only one fragment(in this situation 2K),
I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.
The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not
only mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification".
