This patch did not apply to the 4.4-stable tree, nor to the 3.14-stable
tree, because of 4.5's replacement of PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT by PAGE_SHIFT.
Please use the version below (diffed against 4.4.15) in any trees
from 3.5 through 4.5.
Thanks,
Hugh

Subject: tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page
From: Anthony Romano <anthony.romano@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe upstream.
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.
Fixes: 1635f6a74152f1d ("tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure")
