A successful shmem_fallocate() guarantees that the extent has been reserved, even beyond i_size when the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was used. But that guarantee is broken by shmem_unused_huge_shrink()'s attempts to split huge pages and free their excess beyond i_size; and by other uses of split_huge_page() near i_size. It's sad to add a shmem inode field just for this, but I did not find a better way to keep the guarantee. A flag to say KEEP_SIZE has been used would be cheaper, but I'm averse to unclearable flags. The fallocend field is not perfect either (many disjoint ranges might be fallocated), but good enough; and gains another use later on.
