    Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 179/180] ext4: allocate entire range in zero range
    Date
    3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>

    commit 0f2af21aae11972fa924374ddcf52e88347cf5a8 upstream.

    Currently there is a bug in zero range code which causes zero range
    calls to only allocate block aligned portion of the range, while
    ignoring the rest in some cases.

    In some cases, namely if the end of the range is past i_size, we do
    attempt to preallocate the last nonaligned block. However this might
    cause kernel to BUG() in some carefully designed zero range requests
    on setups where page size > block size.

    Fix this problem by first preallocating the entire range, including
    the nonaligned edges and converting the written extents to unwritten
    in the next step. This approach will also give us the advantage of
    having the range to be as linearly contiguous as possible.
