[merged mm-stable] fs-dont-allocate-blocks-beyond-eof-from-__mpage_writepage.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: fs: don't allocate blocks beyond EOF from __mpage_writepage
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fs-dont-allocate-blocks-beyond-eof-from-__mpage_writepage.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: fs: don't allocate blocks beyond EOF from __mpage_writepage
Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2023 11:44:30 +0100

When __mpage_writepage() is called for a page beyond EOF, it will go and
allocate all blocks underlying the page.  This is not only unnecessary but
this way blocks can get leaked (e.g.  if a page beyond EOF is marked dirty
but in the end write fails and i_size is not extended).
