Subject: [PATCH -V5] ext4: Use -1 as the fake block number for delayed new buffer_head
Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 20:47:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090512151754.GC23862@skywalker> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1240980441-8105-2-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
ext4: Use a fake block number for delayed new buffer_head
From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Use a very large unsigned number (~0xffff) as as the fake block number
for the delayed new buffer. The VFS should never try to write out this
number, but if it does, this will make it obvious.
