/**
 * ntfs_attr_extend_initialized - extend the initialized size of an attribute
 * @ni:			ntfs inode of the attribute to extend
 * @new_init_size:	requested new initialized size in bytes
 * @cached_page:	store any allocated but unused page here
 * @lru_pvec:		lru-buffering pagevec of the caller
 *
 * Extend the initialized size of an attribute described by the ntfs inode @ni
 * to @new_init_size bytes.  This involves zeroing any non-sparse space between
 * the old initialized size and @new_init_size both in the page cache and on
 * disk (if relevant complete pages are already uptodate in the page cache then
 * these are simply marked dirty).
 *
 * As a side-effect, the file size (vfs inode->i_size) may be incremented as,
 * in the resident attribute case, it is tied to the initialized size and, in
 * the non-resident attribute case, it may not fall below the initialized size.
 *
 * Note that if the attribute is resident, we do not need to touch the page
 * cache at all.  This is because if the page cache page is not uptodate we
 * bring it uptodate later, when doing the write to the mft record since we
 * then already have the page mapped.  And if the page is uptodate, the
 * non-initialized region will already have been zeroed when the page was
 * brought uptodate and the region may in fact already have been overwritten
 * with new data via mmap() based writes, so we cannot just zero it.  And since
 * POSIX specifies that the behaviour of resizing a file whilst it is mmap()ped
 * is unspecified, we choose not to do zeroing and thus we do not need to touch
 * the page at all.  For a more detailed explanation see ntfs_truncate() in
 * fs/ntfs/inode.c.
 *
 * @cached_page and @lru_pvec are just optimizations for dealing with multiple
 * pages.
 *
 * Return 0 on success and -errno on error.  In the case that an error is
 * encountered it is possible that the initialized size will already have been
 * incremented some way towards @new_init_size but it is guaranteed that if
 * this is the case, the necessary zeroing will also have happened and that all
 * metadata is self-consistent.
 *
 * Locking: i_mutex on the vfs inode corrseponsind to the ntfs inode @ni must be
 *	    held by the caller.

 * this is only a read and not a write, and since it is still in the same page,
