Subject: [RFC PATCH] mark buffer_head mapping preallocate area as new during write_begin with delayed allocation
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:35:43 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240859143-31122-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

We need to mark the  buffer_head mapping prealloc space
as new during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the
page cache content properly for a partial write. This will
cause file corruption with preallocation.
