Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: reset handle after inserting new extent
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:15:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A52776B.8000203@redhat.com> (raw)

Commit 53422e8a5644e22ea3f6e0efba82a765b72e4308 moved
the new extent insertion in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap prior
to the modification of the original extent, but the
insert function left the handle pointing a the new
extent; this left us modifying the -new- extent not
the original one, and winding up with a corrupt extent
tree something like:

BLOCKS:
(0-1):588791-588792, (0):588791

We need to move back to the previous extent prior
to modification, if we inserted a new one.

(aside: should there be functions to simply move
the handle around, w/o necessarily populating an
extent structure?)

(aside2: maybe ext2fs_extent_insert should take a flag
saying whether the handle should be moved after the
insertion; moving it around to back where we want to be
seems a bit tedious)
