ext4: make sure ext4_append() always allocates new block
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit b8a04fe ]

ext4_append() must always allocate a new block, otherwise we run the
risk of overwriting existing directory block corrupting the directory
tree in the process resulting in all manner of problems later on.

Add a sanity check to see if the logical block is already allocated and
error out if it is.
