Eryu Guan c894aa9757 ext4: fix fdatasync(2) after fallocate(2) operation
Currently, fallocate(2) with KEEP_SIZE followed by a fdatasync(2)
then crash, we'll see wrong allocated block number (stat -c %b), the
blocks allocated beyond EOF are all lost. fstests generic/468
exposes this bug.

Commit 67a7d5f561 ("ext4: fix fdatasync(2) after extent
manipulation operations") fixed all the other extent manipulation
operation paths such as hole punch, zero range, collapse range etc.,
but forgot the fallocate case.

So similarly, fix it by recording the correct journal tid in ext4
inode in fallocate(2) path, so that ext4_sync_file() will wait for
the right tid to be committed on fdatasync(2).

This addresses the test failure in xfstests test generic/468.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
