[ Upstream commit 8b9433eb4d ]
On a DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem, the ->get_block() method is currently
not allowed to create blocks for an empty inode. This confusion comes
from trying to bit shift a negative number, so check the size of the
inode first.
The problem is most visible for hfsplus, because the fallback to
buffered I/O doesn't happen and the write fails with EIO. This is in
part the fault of the module, because it gives a wrong return value on
->get_block(); that will be fixed in a separate patch.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
