Nick Piggin 955eff5acc [PATCH] fs: fix libfs data leak 
simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data.  This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to.  This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.

Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in.  This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour.  Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.
