CVE-2023-53323

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext2/dax: Fix ext2_setsize when len is page aligned

PAGE_ALIGN(x) macro gives the next highest value which is multiple of
pagesize. But if x is already page aligned then it simply returns x.
So, if x passed is 0 in dax_zero_range() function, that means the
length gets passed as 0 to ->iomap_begin().

In ext2 it then calls ext2_get_blocks -> max_blocks as 0 and hits bug_on
here in ext2_get_blocks().
	BUG_ON(maxblocks == 0);

Instead we should be calling dax_truncate_page() here which takes
care of it. i.e. it only calls dax_zero_range if the offset is not
page/block aligned.

This can be easily triggered with following on fsdax mounted pmem
device.

dd if=/dev/zero of=file count=1 bs=512
truncate -s 0 file
