Subject: [086/165] ext4: Ensure zeroout blocks have no dirty metadata
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:15:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171507.454213622@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730171550.GA1299@kroah.com
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
commit 515f41c33a9d44a964264c9511ad2c869af1fac3 upstream (as of v2.6.33-rc3)
This fixes a bug (found by Curt Wohlgemuth) in which new blocks
returned from an extent created with ext4_ext_zeroout() can have dirty
metadata still associated with them.
