commit 6d994661db96cad43f26d0d1e2fba31dce9a76f5 introduced fallocate + FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to do posix_do_zerofill but did not do an fsync if O_SYNC or O_DSYNC fd flags were set. Prashant Pai pointed out performing fallocate(2) does not remove the necessity to do fsyncs if durability is desired: http://linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.narkive.com/bDmrAUlh/fallocate-falloc-fl-punch-hole
