fat: hold truncate_lock in fat_write_failed()
The current fat_write_failed() implementation calls into fat_truncate_blocks() without holding truncate_lock. A failed or short extending write racing with FIBMAP can spuriously make a FAT filesystem read-only. FIBMAP bounds its lookup by i_blocks, so it can walk allocated clusters beyond i_size while fat_write_failed() is removing them. If the chain is shortened during the walk, the mapper can report a bogus "request beyond EOF" error, triggering the default read-only error policy. Hold truncate_lock for write around the block cleanup to serialize it with _fat_bmap(). For comparison, fat_setattr() correctly holds truncate_lock during truncation: down_write(&MSDOS_I(inode)->truncate_lock); truncate_setsize(inode, attr->ia_size); fat_truncate_blocks(inode, attr->ia_size); up_write(&MSDOS_I(inode)->truncate_lock); Make it so ->truncate_lock is held exclusive while truncating.
