Subject[PATCH 3.2 052/106] ext4: fix fdatasync(2) after extent manipulation operations
3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

commit 67a7d5f561f469ad2fa5154d2888258ab8e6df7c upstream.

Currently, extent manipulation operations such as hole punch, range
zeroing, or extent shifting do not record the fact that file data has
changed and thus fdatasync(2) has a work to do. As a result if we crash
e.g. after a punch hole and fdatasync, user can still possibly see the
punched out data after journal replay. Test generic/392 fails due to
these problems.

Fix the problem by properly marking that file data has changed in these
operations.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: Only the punch-hole operation is supported, and
it's in extents.c.]
