Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:
ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().
So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.
I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.
The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate
path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are
reallocated. In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block
layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with
such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated
pages.

This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS
in such kind of scenario:
open(, O_TRUNC...)
ftruncate(, 1024)
ftruncate(, 0)
Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen
because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for
last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but
`ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this.
To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch
removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to
call ufs_truncate.

In ufs code there is function: ubh_ll_rw_block, it has parameter how many

of this parameter. This patch removes unused parameter of "ubh_ll_wr_block".

ufs super block contains some statistic about file systems, like amount of
directories, free blocks, inodes and so on.
UFS1 hold this information in one location and uses 32bit integers for such
information, UFS2 hold statistic in another location and uses 64bit integers.
There is transition variant, if UFS1 has type 44BSD and flags field in super
block has some special value this mean that we work with statistic like UFS2
does. and this also means that nobody care about old(UFS1) statistic.
So if start fsck against such file system, after usage linux ufs driver, it
found error: at now only UFS1 like statistic is updated.
This patch should fix this. Also it contains some minor cleanup: CodingSytle
and remove unused variables.

Currently to turn on debug mode "user" has to edit ~10 files, to turn off he
has to do it again.
This patch introduce such changes:

2)remove unnecessary duplication of code
3)make "UFSD" macros more similar to function
4)fix some compiler warnings

There are two ugly macros in ufs code:
#define UCPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)ucpi)
#define USPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)uspi)
when uspi looks like
struct {
struct ufs_buffer_head ;
}
and USPI_UBH has some sence,
ucpi looks like
struct {
struct not_ufs_buffer_head;
}
To prevent bugs in future, this patch convert macros to inline function and
fix "ucpi" structure.

First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk
space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough,
16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is
growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to
allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block.
How this situation was handled before:
ufs_prepare_write
->block_prepare_write
->ufs_getfrag_block
->...
->ufs_new_fragments:
bh = sb_bread
bh->b_blocknr = result + i;
mark_buffer_dirty (bh);
This is wrong solution, because:
- it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page
cache"
- because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find
certain block, this breaks sb_getblk.
How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if
there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

Here is update of ufs cleanup patch, brought on by the recently fixed
ubh_get_usb_second() bug that made some ugly code rather painfully
obvious. It also includes
- fix compilation warnings which appears if debug mode turn on
- remove unnecessary duplication of code to support UFS2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
