Subject: [PATCH 04/10] ext4: factor out journalled block zeroing range
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:40:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310014101.4140698-5-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310014101.4140698-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com>

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>

Refactor __ext4_block_zero_page_range() by separating the block zeroing
operations for ordered data mode and journal data mode into two distinct
functions:

  - ext4_block_do_zero_range(): handles non-journal data mode with
    ordered data support
  - ext4_block_journalled_zero_range(): handles journal data mode

Also extract a common helper, ext4_block_get_zero_range(), to handle
buffer head and folio retrieval, along with the associated error
handling. This prepares for converting the partial block zero range to
the iomap infrastructure.
