During the process of writing back folios, if mpage_map_and_submit_extent() exits the extent mapping loop due to an ENOSPC or ENOMEM error, it may result in stale data or filesystem inconsistency in environments where the block size is smaller than the folio size. When mapping a discontinuous folio in mpage_map_and_submit_extent(), some buffers may have already be mapped. If we exit the mapping loop prematurely, the folio data within the mapped range will not be written back, and the file's disk size will not be updated. Once the transaction that includes this range of extents is committed, this can lead to stale data or filesystem inconsistency. Fix this by submitting the current processing partially mapped folio.

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.
