Hi, Chao
After commit 3fdd89b452c2("f2fs: prevent writing without fallocate() for pinned
files"), when we want to write data to pinned file, we need to use pin+fallocate,
and we did CAP_BLKS_PER_SEC roundup align when fallocate pinned file:

block_t sec_len = roundup(map.m_len, sec_blks);

Even if we truncate the file to a larger size(maybe larger than sec_len, section
align or not), and write data to offset beyond sec_len, the write will fail(commit
3fdd89b452c2 prevent it). The scattered pin block cannot be generated by this way,
so I did not consider attr->ia_size > i_size case.
Do you have some suggestions?
