Since commit eb65540aa9 ("iomap: warn on zero range of a post-eof
folio"), iomap_zero_range() warns when asked to zero a folio beyond eof.
The warning triggers on the following code path:
gfs2_fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE)
__gfs2_punch_hole()
gfs2_block_zero_range()
iomap_zero_range()
In __gfs2_punch_hole(), gfs2 zeroes out partial folios at the beginning
and at the end of the specified range, whether those folios are beyond
eof or not. This may add folios to the page cache which are entirely
beyond eof, which isn't of any use. Avoid that by truncating the range
to zero out at eof.

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 reStructuredText 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.
