hfs: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity

Browse source

Likewise HFS+, HFS has the same issue of returning
the -ENOSPC error code instead of -EFBIG in the case
if there is the effort to write beyond 8TiB.

The root cause is that hfs_fill_super() sets s_maxbytes
as MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. VFS therefore considers the write
position valid and calls into the filesystem. Because HFS
does not support holes, cont_write_begin() zero-fills
the entire intermediate range from the current end-of-file
to the target offset. On a small test volume this exhausts
free space long before any block-number overflow is detected,
producing -ENOSPC instead of -EFBIG.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a bounds check
at the top of hfs_write_begin(). If the requested write
position is at or beyond the actual capacity of the volume
in bytes, return -EFBIG immediately before cont_write_begin()
is entered and before any zero-fill I/O is attempted.
