[PATCH] fix ufs write vs. readpage race when writing into a hole

From: Al Viro
Date: Wed Sep 09 2015 - 05:16:53 EST


Followup to UFS series - with the way we clear the new blocks (via
buffer cache, possibly on more than a page worth of file) we really should
not insert a reference to new block into inode block tree until after we'd
cleared it.
