objections, please let us know.
Hugh says the patch is broken, shouldn't go to stable without the fix:

===============
[ Upstream commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe ]
When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages. This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte. Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.
