Christoph Hellwig 381c043233 iomap: add a workaround for racy i_size updates on block devices
A szybot reproducer that does write I/O while truncating the size of a
block device can end up in clean_bdev_aliases, which tries to clean the
bdev aliases that it uses.  This is because iomap_to_bh automatically
sets the BH_New flag when outside of i_size.  For block devices updates
to i_size are racy and we can hit this case in a tiny race window,
leading to the eventual clean_bdev_aliases call.  Fix this by erroring
out of > i_size I/O on block devices.

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.
