SubjectRe: [PATCH] ext4: Fix WANRON caused by unconsistent boot loader inode's i_size and i_disksize
Actually, after looking more closely at swap_boot_loader_inode(), your
patch is better one. I've dropped mine and applied yours, with commit
message clarified a bit:

ext4: zero i_disksize when initializing the bootloader inode

If the boot loader inode has never been used before, the
EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT inode will initialize it, including setting the
i_size to 0. However, if the "never before used" boot loader has a
non-zero i_size, then i_disksize will be non-zero, and the
inconsistency between i_size and i_disksize can trigger a kernel
warning:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2580 at fs/ext4/file.c:319
CPU: 0 PID: 2580 Comm: bb Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-00004-g703695902cfa
RIP: 0010:ext4_file_write_iter+0xbc7/0xd10
Call Trace:

ksys_write+0x77/0x160
__x64_sys_write+0x22/0x30
do_syscall_64+0x39/0x80

Reproducer:
1. create corrupted image and mount it:
mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 200
debugfs -wR "sif <5> size 25700" /tmp/foo.img
mount -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img /mnt
cd /mnt
echo 123 > file
2. Run the reproducer program:
posix_memalign(&buf, 1024, 1024)
fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);
ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
write(fd, buf, 1024);

Fix this by setting i_disksize as well as i_size to zero when
initiaizing the boot loader inode.
