In writeback don't update i_size and continue writeback if\neven folio is beyond EOF. In read path don't zero fsverity folios, again\nthey are past EOF.\n\nThe iomap_block_needs_zeroing() is also called from write path. For\nfolios of larger order we don't want to zero out pages in the folio as\nthese could contain other merkle tree blocks. For fsverity, filesystem\nwill request to read PAGE_SIZE memory regions. For data folios, iomap\nwill zero the rest of the folio for anything which is beyond EOF. We\ndon't want this for fsverity folios.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andrey Albershteyn \nReviewed-by: \"Darrick J.
