There's also a couple of tmpfs fixes listed in the 4.4.16 changelog that also jumped out at me. Particularly this one:
Quote:
tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page
commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe upstream.
When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte past its range of allocated pages. This can corrupt an in-use page by zeroing out its first byte. Instead, undo using the inclusive byte range.
Looks like it might be a good idea for me to not build this one in my /tmp tmpfs like I usually do though.
