Subject: [PATCH] ext4: subdivide EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1
When splitting an extent, if the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT flag is set and
it is necessary to split the target extent in the middle,
ext4_split_extent() first handles splitting the latter half of the
extent and passes the EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 flag. This flag implies that
all blocks before the split point contain valid data; however, this
assumption is incorrect.
Therefore, subdivid EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 into
EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 and EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, which
indicate that the first half of the extent is either entirely valid or
only partially valid, respectively. These two flags cannot be set
simultaneously.
This patch does not use EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, it only replaces
EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 with EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 at the location
where it is set, no logical changes.
