Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Make ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() return proper number of blocks
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:29:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413966550-27404-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)

ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() can return more blocks than are
actually allocated from map->m_lblk in case where initial part of the
on-disk extent is zeroed out. Luckily this doesn't have serious
consequences because the caller currently uses the return value
only to unmap metadata buffers. Anyway this is a data
corruption/exposure problem waiting to happen so fix it.
