When the filesystem block size is smaller than the page size, the last page may contain blocks that lie entirely beyond the end of the file. Make sure to only allocate blocks that lie at least partially in the file. Allocating blocks beyond that isn't useful, and what's more, they will not be zeroed out and may end up containing random data. With that change in place, make sure we'll still always unstuff stuffed inodes: iomap_writepage and iomap_writepages currently can't handle stuffed files. In addition, simplify and move the end-of-file check further to the top in gfs2_page_mkwrite to avoid weird side effects like unstuffing when we're not. Fixes xfstest generic/263.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
