vfs: fix data leak in nobh_write_end()
Current nobh_write_end() implementation ignore partial writes(copied < len)
case if page was fully mapped and simply mark page as Uptodate, which is
totally wrong because area [pos+copied, pos+len) wasn't updated explicitly in
previous write_begin call. It simply contains garbage from pagecache and
result in data leakage.
#TEST_CASE_BEGIN:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In fact issue triggered by classical testcase
open("/mnt/test", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3
ftruncate(3, 409600) = 0
writev(3, [{"a", 1}, {NULL, 4095}], 2) = 1
##TESTCASE_SOURCE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, ret;
void* p;
struct iovec iov[2];
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666);
ftruncate(fd, 409600);
iov[0].iov_base="a";
iov[0].iov_len=1;
iov[1].iov_base=NULL;
iov[1].iov_len=4096;
ret = writev(fd, iov, sizeof(iov)/sizeof(struct iovec));
printf("writev = %d, err = %d\n", ret, errno);
return 0;
}
##TESTCASE RESULT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[root@ts63 ~]# mount | grep mnt2
/dev/mapper/test on /mnt2 type ext2 (rw,nobh)
[root@ts63 ~]# /tmp/writev /mnt2/test
writev = 1, err = 0

As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros.
#TEST_CASE_END
Attached patch:
- Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller,
This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero
*fadata pointer at the same time.
- Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case.
- Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers.
This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin
was called previously.
