Subject: [PATCH] misc: fix 'zero_hugefiles = false' regression
Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 15:47:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170508224757.94528-1-ebiggers3@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
When mk_hugefiles() was switched to use ext2fs_fallocate(), it was
accidentally changed to ignore the 'zero_hugefiles = false' setting,
which should cause hugefiles to be allocated without initializing their
contents. Fix this by only passing EXT2_FALLOCATE_ZERO_BLOCKS to
ext2fs_fallocate() when zero_hugefiles is true.
Fixes: 4f868703f6f2 ("libext2fs: use fallocate for creating journals and hugefiles")
